-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media
In case of fire, use appropriate extinguishing media most suitable for surrounding fire conditions. SMALL FIRE: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from the fire area. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after the fire is out. Containers may explode when heated.
Hazards from Combustion Products
Combustible solid. Avoid generating dust. Incompatible with oxidizing agents, strong acids, and sources of ignition. When involved in a fire, this product may generate irritating, poisonous, or corrosive fumes of carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide.
Special Protective Precautions and Equipment for Fire Fighters
Fire fighters should wear a positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots and gloves). Clear fire area of all non-emergency personnel. Stay upwind. Keep out of low areas. Eliminate ignition sources.
Flammability Conditions
Product is a combustible solid.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedures
Personnel involved in the clean up should wear full protective clothing. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Increase ventilation. Avoid generating dust. Do not allow product to reach drains, sewers or waterways. If the product does enter a waterway, advise the Environmental Protection Authority or your local Waste Management.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up
Contain and sweep/shovel up spills with dust binding material or use an industrial vacuum cleaner. Transfer to suitable, labelled, sealable chemical- waste containers and dispose of promptly as hazardous waste.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling
Ensure an eye bath and safety shower are available and ready for use. Observe good personal hygiene practices and recommended procedures. Wash thoroughly after handling. Take precautionary measures against dust generation and accumulation, and static discharges by bonding and grounding equipment. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do NOT inhale product dust/fumes.
Conditions for Safe Storage (Including Any Incompatibles)
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Inspect regularly for deficiencies such as damage or leaks. Protect against physical damage. Store away from incompatible materials including oxidizing agents, strong acids, and sources of ignition. Protect from direct sunlight and moisture. Store at temperatures not exceeding 15-25'C. This product is not classified dangerous for transport according to The Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods By Road and Rail.
Container Type
Store in original packaging as approved by manufacturer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
National Exposure Standards
No exposure standard has been established for this product by the Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC). However, the exposure standard for dust not otherwise specified is 10mg/m3 (for inspirable dust) and 3mg/m3 (for respirable dust).
Biological Limit Values
No information available on biological limit values for this product.
Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work area.
Personal Protection
RESPIRATOR: Wear an effective dust mask where dusts/vapours are generated and engineering controls are inadequate (AS1715/1716). EYES: Safety glasses with side shields (AS1336/1337). HANDS: Wear impervious gloves (AS2161). CLOTHING: Long-sleeved protective clothing and safety footwear (AS3765/2210).
