Advice to physicians

Treat symptomatically

No specific measures for health surveillance or medical management are recommended

·This product is not in the flammable range but will burn
·Carbon monoxide is possible where incomplete combustion occurs

Protective equipment

·Wear self-contained breathing appratus for a large fir

·Sweep/shovel up and remove to a safe places for subsequent disposal
·Flush the contaminated area with plenty of water

Large spillage

·Transfer to a salvage drum/tank if possible, otherwise treat as for a small spillage

Personal protection

·Refer Section 8
·In the event of inhalation risk wear high efficiency dust respirator(NPF 1000)

·Maintain adequate ventilation

·Electrostatic charges may be generated during handling, e.g. when crushing, grinding and  sewing or emptying bags

·All equipment should be earthed, including funnels, chutes and drums

Storage

·Satisfactory : carbonb steel, stainless steel, aluminium, polyethylene and paper bags

·Unsatisfactory : cooper, bronze

Storage conditions
