	ACUTE HAZARDS	PREVENTION	FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE & EXPLOSION	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Use powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.

PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
	SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID
Inhalation	Cough.	Use ventilation (not if powder).	Fresh air, rest.
Skin		Protective gloves.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
Eyes	Redness.	Wear safety spectacles.	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
Ingestion		Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth.

SPILLAGE DISPOSAL	CLASSIFICATION & LABELLING
Personal protection: particulate filter respirator adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Sweep spilled substance into sealable containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.	According to UN GHS Criteria Insufficient data for GHS classification Transportation UN Classification UN Hazard Class: 6.1; UN Pack Group: II
STORAGE
Separated from bases, strong oxidants and food and feedstuffs. Provision to contain effluent from fire extinguishing.
PACKAGING
Do not transport with food and feedstuffs.
