In case of fire in the surroundings, use appropriate extinguishing media.

Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Carefully collect remainder.

Separated from strong oxidants. Dry. Well closed.

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

The substance may cause effects on the central nervous system. This may result in excitement and convulsions.

The substance may have effects on the thyroid and central nervous system. This may result in impaired functions and hypothyroidism.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!

Use local exhaust or breathing protection.

Protective gloves.

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