■ If this product comes in contact with the eyes:
· Wash out immediately with fresh running water.
· Ensure complete irrigation of the eye by keeping eyelids apart and away from eye and moving the eyelids by occasionally lifting the upper and lower lids.
· Seek medical attention without delay; if pain persists or recurs seek medical attention.
· Removal of contact lenses after an eye injury should only be undertaken by skilled personnel.
■ If skin or hair contact occurs:
· Flush skin and hair with running water (and soap if available).
· Seek medical attention in event of irritation.
· If dust is inhaled, remove from contaminated area.
· Encourage patient to blow nose to ensure clear passage of breathing.
· If irritation or discomfort persists seek medical attention.
■ Treat symptomatically.
· There is no restriction on the type of extinguisher which may be used.
■ Product is not combustible. No special firefighting procedures required. Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard. Use fire fighting procedures suitable for surrounding area.

· Clean up all spills immediately. · Avoid contact with skin and eyes. · Wear impervious gloves and safety glasses. · Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust. · Vacuum up (consider explosion-proof machines designed to be grounded during storage and use). · Do NOT use air hoses for cleaning · Place spilled material in clean, dry, sealable, labelled container.
■ Minor hazard. · Clear area of personnel and move upwind. · If inhalation risk of exposure exists, wear SAA approved dust respirator. · Collect recoverable product into labelled containers for recycling.
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.
■ Avoid generating and breathing dust.
· Limit all unnecessary personal contact.
· Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
· Use in a well-ventilated area.
· When handling DO NOT eat, drink or smoke.
· Always wash hands with soap and water after handling.
· Avoid physical damage to containers.
· Use good occupational work practice.
· Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.
■ Multi-ply paper bag with sealed plastic liner or heavy gauge plastic bag.
NOTE: Bags should be stacked, blocked, interlocked, and limited in height so that they are stable and secure against sliding or collapse. Check that all containers are clearly labelled and free from leaks. Packing as recommended by manufacturer.
■ None known.
· Keep dry.
· Store under cover.
· Protect containers against physical damage.
· Observe manufacturer's storing and handling recommendations.

· Safety glasses with side shields; or as required, · Chemical goggles. · Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing the wearing of lens or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59].
· Wear physical protective gloves, eg. leather. · Wear safety footwear.
· Overalls. · Eyewash unit.

■ Use in a well-ventilated area. · Local exhaust ventilation is required where solids are handled as powders or crystals; even when particulates are relatively large, a certain proportion will be powdered by mutual friction. · Exhaust ventilation should be designed to prevent accumulation and recirculation of particulates in the workplace. · If in spite of local exhaust an adverse concentration of the substance in air could occur, respiratory protection should be considered. Such protection might consist of: (a): particle dust respirators, if necessary, combined with an absorption cartridge; (b): filter respirators with absorption cartridge or canister of the right type; (c): fresh-air hoods or masks · Build-up of electrostatic charge on the dust particle, may be prevented by bonding and grounding. · Powder handling equipment such as dust collectors, dryers and mills may require additional protection measures such as explosion venting.
Black odourless powder/granules; insoluble in water. The product does not contain crystalline silica.

■ Product is considered stable and hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
For incompatible materials - refer to Section 7 - Handling and Storage.
■ Considered an unlikely route of entry in commercial/industrial environments. Not normally a hazard due to the physical form of product. The material is a physical irritant to the gastro-intestinal tract.
■ The dust may produce eye discomfort and abrasive eye inflammation. The material is capable of causing a mild, temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to wind-burn), temporary impairment of vision and/or other transient eye damage/ulceration.
The material may be abrasive and slightly discomforting to the skin.
■ Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled. If prior damage to the circulatory or nervous systems has occurred or if kidney damage has been sustained, proper screenings should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of the material result in excessive exposures. Effects on lungs are significantly enhanced in the presence of respirableparticles.
■ Principal routes of exposure are by accidental skin and eye contact and inhalation of generated dusts. Long term exposure to high dust concentrations may cause changes in lung function i.e. pneumoconiosis; caused by particles less than 0.5 micron penetrating and remaining in the lung. Prime symptom is breathlessness; lung shadows show on X-ray.
■ unless otherwise specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.

· Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
· Consult State Land Waste Management Authority for disposal.

■ Classification of the preparation and its individual components has drawn on official and authoritative sources as well as independent review by the Chemwatch Classification committee using available literature references.
A list of reference resources used to assist the committee may be found at:
www.chemwatch.net/references.
■ The (M)SDS is a Hazard Communication tool and should be used to assist in the Risk Assessment. Many factors determine whether the reported Hazards are Risks in the workplace or other settings. Risks may be determined by reference to Exposures Scenarios. Scale of use, frequency of use and current or available engineering controls must be considered.
