Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None known
Special Hazards: Combustion generates carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing
Firefighting Procedures: Avoid dust accumulation, remove containers from fire zone if safe, cool exposed containers with water spray
Explosion Data: Dust explosion risk under specific concentrations or confined ignition
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate respiratory and eye protection in case of excessive dust
Spill Cleanup: Sweep or vacuum without creating airborne dust, collect for reuse or disposal
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow large amounts to enter waterways, avoid sweeping into drains
Disposal of Residue: Place in appropriate waste containers, ensure no uncontrolled dispersal
Handling Practices: Minimize dust generation, handle with dry, clean tools
Hygiene Recommendations: Wash hands after use, avoid eating or drinking in processing areas, remove contaminated clothing
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry place, keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture pickup
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, moisture
Shelf Life: Stable for over one year under recommended conditions
Packaging: Food-grade barrels, bags, clearly labelled, intact and sealed
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established values, keep dust as low as possible
Engineering Controls: Use of local exhaust ventilation, extraction hoods above work zones
Personal Protection: Safety goggles for eye protection, dust respirator in poorly ventilated areas, gloves for prolonged skin contact
Environmental Controls: Regular cleaning to prevent dust buildup, control release into the environment
Appearance: White, crystalline or granular powder
