TYPES OF HAZARD / EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS / SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID / FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	Prevent deposition of dust; closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
Inhalation		Local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes		Safety spectacles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor.
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Give plenty of water to drink. Rest. Refer for medical attention.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Chemical protection suit including self-contained breathing apparatus. Sweep spilled substance into containers; if appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder, then remove to safe place.	Xn Symbol N Symbol R: 40-50/53 S: (2-)36/37-46-60-61	Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE	SAFE STORAGE
	Separated from food and feedstuffs. Well closed.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
WHITE CRYSTALLINE POWDER

Physical dangers
Dust explosion possible if in powder or granular form, mixed with air.

Chemical dangers
Upon heating, toxic fumes are formed.

Occupational exposure limits
TLV not established.

Routes of exposure
The substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its aerosol and by ingestion.

Inhalation risk
Evaporation at 20°C is negligible; a harmful concentration of airborne particles can, however, be reached quickly on spraying or when dispersed, especially if powdered.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact with skin may cause dermatitis.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Melting point (decomposes): 225-227°C Density: 1.3 g/cm³ Solubility in water: none Vapour pressure, Pa at 20°C: 8.1 x 10 exp-7 Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 2.1	The substance is toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be given to avoid any additional release, e.g. through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES

The substance is combustible but no flash point is available in literature.
If the substance is formulated with solvents also consult the ICSCs of these materials.
Carrier solvents used in commercial formulations may change physical and toxicological properties.
Card has been partly updated in October 2005. See section EU classification.
