Remove contaminated clothing.

If inhaled:
After inhalation of decomposition products, remove the affected person to a source of fresh air and
keep calm. Provide medical aid. If difficulties occur after dust has been inhaled, remove to fresh air
and seek medical attention.

On skin contact:
Areas affected by molten material should be quickly placed under cold running water. Burns caused
by molten material require hospital treatment.

On contact with eyes:

In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. If
irritation develops, seek medical attention.

On ingestion:
Rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water. If difficulties occur: Seek medical attention. Never induce
vomiting or give anything by mouth if the victim is unconscious or having convulsions.

Information regarding exposure controls/personal protection and disposal considerations can be
found in section 8 and 13.

Section 7: Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Processing machines must be fitted with local exhaust ventilation. When working on exaust systems
special safety precautions must be taken, because dangerous substances can accumulate in the
residue of the exaust system. Avoid the formation and deposition of dust. Handle in accordance with
good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Protection against fire and explosion:

Avoid dust formation. Dust can form an explosive mixture with air. Provide exhaust ventilation. When
the product is ground (chopped), dust explosion regulations should be noted.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Further information on storage conditions: Protect against moisture. Avoid extreme heat. Avoid all
sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. The product must be stored according to the
requirements of Regulation (EC) No 2023/2006. Contamination with other substances must be
avoided. Storage together with other substances, especially hazardous substances, must be avoided.

7.3. Specific end use(s)

For the relevant identified use(s) listed in Section 1 the advice mentioned in this section 7 is to be
observed.

Section 8 : Exposure controls/personal protection

8.1. Control parameters

Not applicable

8.2. Exposure controls

Hand Protection : Use additional heat protection gloves when handling hot
molten masses (EN 407), e.g. of textile or leather

Eye/face protection : Safety glasses with side-shields (frame goggles) (e.g. EN

166)

Body protection : Body protection must be chosen depending on activity and

possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-
protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes
or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust).

Respiratory protection : Breathing protection if dusts are formed. Particle filter with
low efficiency for solid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type
P1or FFP1

General safety and hygiene Avoid contact of molten material with skin. Avoid inhalation
measures: of dusts/mists/vapours. Eye wash fountains and safety
showers must be easily accessible. Handle in accordance
with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Avoid
inhalation of dusts. Hands and/or face should be washed
before breaks and at the end of the shift. Consult the
company Industrial Hygienist for recommendations on
exposure testing and personal protective equipment.
