Special Protective Actions for Fire-Fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing if involved in a large fire. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers.
Section 6 – Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures: Avoid generating dust. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed areas.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, drains, and sewers. Although the product is environmentally friendly to plants, excessive quantities entering waterways may contribute to nutrient loading.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean-Up: Sweep or vacuum spilled material and collect in suitable containers for use or disposal. Wash residual material into soil with water. Avoid dust generation during clean-up.
Section 7 – Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact. Avoid breathing dust. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using this product. Use in well-ventilated areas.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in original packaging in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from oxidising agents and strong acids. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Store away from foodstuffs, animal feed, and fertilisers of different compositions. Protect from moisture to prevent caking.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidising agents, strong acids.
