Each notification may be associated with multiple companies.

Use water spray, powder.

Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Evacuate danger area! Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Well closed. Store only in original container. Cool.

A harmful concentration of airborne particles can be reached quickly when dispersed, especially if powdered.

The substance is irritating to the eyes.

Repeated or prolonged inhalation of dust particles may cause effects on the lungs.

NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST! STRICT HYGIENE! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR!

Avoid inhalation of dust. Use ventilation (not if powder), local exhaust or breathing protection.

Protective gloves.

Wear safety goggles or eye protection in combination with breathing protection if powder.

Drug Information
