Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. For personal protection see section 8.
Environmental precautions No special environmental precautions required.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Sweep up and shovel. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Reference to other sections  For disposal see section 13.

Precautions for safe handling  Further processing of solid materials may result in the formation of combustible dusts. The potential for combustible dust formation should be taken into consideration before additional processing occurs. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. For precautions see section 2.2.

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.Store under inert gas. Moisture sensitive. Exposure to moisture Storage class (TRGS 510): Non Combustible Solids.
Specific end use(s)  Apart from the uses mentioned in section 1.2 no other specific uses are stipulated

Eye/face protection Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). 
Skin protection Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
Body Protection Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the specific work-place., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Wear gloves selected based on an evaluation of the possible hazards to hands and skin,
the duration of use, the physical conditions of the workplace, and the chemical resistance
and physical properties of the glove material.
Skin and body
Protective clothing must be selected based on the hazards present in the workplace, the physical environment, the duration of exposure, and other factors. No fabric can provide protection against all potential hazards; therefore it is important to select the appropriate
protective clothing for each specific hazard. At the minimum, wear a laboratory coat and
close-toed footwear
Respiratory Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection from nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust masks. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of environmental exposure  No special environmental precautions required.
