            FIRE Combustible. 
            NO open flames. 
            Powder, water spray, foam, 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 



            INHALATION 

            Ventilation (not if powder). 
            Fresh air, rest. 

            SKIN 




            EYES 

            Safety goggles. 
            First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact 
            lenses if easily possible), then take to a doctor. 

            INGESTION 


            Rinse mouth. 

            SPILLAGE DISPOSAL STORAGE PACKAGING & LABELLING 
            Sweep spilled substance into containers. Wash away remainder with 
            plenty of water. 
            Separated from strong oxidants. Well closed.
