dermis. Delayed or immediate effects can be expected after short or long-term exposure. Spillage and fire water can
cause pollution of watercourses.

ory tract irritation, consult a physician. Provide fresh air.

areas. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.
- Specific notes/details
Dust deposits may accumulate on all deposition surfaces in a technical room. The product in the delivered form is not
dust explosion capable; the enrichment of fine dust however leads to the danger of dust explosion.
Advice on general occupational hygiene

Wash hands after use. Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas. Never keep food or drink in the vicinity of chemicals. Never place chemicals
in containers that are normally used for food or drink. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Managing of associated risks
- Explosive atmospheres
Removal of dust deposits.
- Ventilation requirements
Use local and general ventilation.
