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.	Use water spray, foam, powder, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust.

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! AVOID ALL CONTACT! AVOID EXPOSURE OF ADOLESCENTS AND CHILDREN!
Inhalation	Cough. Sore throat. Abdominal pain. Nausea. Vomiting.	Use local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest. Refer for medical attention.
Skin	Redness. Pain.	Protective gloves. Protective clothing.	Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness. Pain.	Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection.	First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.
Ingestion	Abdominal pain. Nausea. Vomiting.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work. Wash hands before eating.	Rinse mouth. Give a slurry of activated charcoal in water to drink. Refer for medical attention .

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	PACKAGING & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.	Do not transport with food and feedstuffs. Marine pollutant.

IMPORTANT DATA

Physical State; Appearance
WHITE POWDER.

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

Chemical dangers
Decomposes on heating and on burning. This produces toxic and irritating fumes including nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides. Decomposes on contact with acids.

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
A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed.

Effects of short-term exposure
The substance is severely irritating to the eyes. The substance is irritating to the skin and respiratory tract.

Effects of long-term or repeated exposure
Repeated or prolonged contact may cause skin sensitization. Tumours have been detected in experimental animals but may not be relevant to humans.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES	ENVIRONMENTAL DATA
Melting point: 240-250°C Density: 1.7 g/cm³ Solubility in water: very poor Octanol/water partition coefficient as log Pow: 1.09	The substance is very toxic to aquatic organisms. This substance does enter the environment under normal use. Great care, however, should be taken to avoid any additional release, for example through inappropriate disposal.

NOTES

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.
