· Immediately give a glass of water.
· First aid is not generally required. If in doubt, contact a Poisons
Information Centre or a doctor.
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.
· 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.

None
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT
Breathing apparatus.
· 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.
· Sweep up or
· Vacuum up (consider explosion-proof machines designed to be grounded during
storage and use).
· 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.

The local concentration of material, quantity and conditions of use determine
the type of personal protective equipment required. For further information
consult site specific CHEMWATCH data (if available), or your Occupational
Health and Safety Advisor.
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.

Product is considered stable and hazardous polymerisation will not occur.
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.
Effects on lungs are significantly enhanced in the presence of respirable
particles. Overexposure to respirable dust may produce wheezing, coughing and
breathing difficulties leading to or symptomatic of impaired respiratory
function.
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. A prime symptom is breathlessness. Lung shadows show on X-ray.
TOXICITY IRRITATION Not available for mixture or identified for ingredient(s).
· Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
· Consult State Land Waste Management Authority for disposal.
· Bury residue in an authorised landfill.
