Section 5 - Firefighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media Water.

Unsuitable Extinguishing Media High volume water jet. Dry powder. Sand. Foam.

Hazards from Combustion Products Decomposes on heating. Thermal decomposition may produce toxic oxides of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and ammonia.

Specific hazards arising from the chemical In case of fire, the product will smoulder even without the presence of external oxygen. In these conditions the product will show self sustaining decomposition. The best method to extinguish the fire is to cool the decomposition front with water.

Decomposition Temperature Not available

Precautions in connection with Fire Fire fighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive pressure mode. In case of fire the product may be violently or explosively reactive. Use water spray to disperse vapours. This product should be prevented from entering drains and watercourses.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures

Emergency Procedures Increase ventilation. Evacuate all unprotected personnel. Wear sufficient respiratory protection and full protective clothing to prevent exposure. Sweep up material avoiding dust generation or dampen spilled material with water to avoid airborne dust, then transfer material to a suitable container. Wash surfaces well with soap and water. Seal all wastes in labelled containers for subsequent recycling or disposal. Dispose of waste according to the applicable local and national regulations. If contamination of sewers or waterways occurs inform the local water and waste management authorities in accordance with local regulations.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling Avoid inhalation of dust, and skin or eye contact. Use only in a well ventilated area. Keep containers sealed when not in use. Prevent the build up of dust in the work atmosphere. Maintain high standards of personal hygiene i.e. Washing hands prior to eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet facilities.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight and moisture. Store in suitable, labelled containers. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep containers tightly closed. Store away from incompatible materials. Ensure that storage conditions comply with applicable local and national regulations. For information on the design of the storeroom reference should be made to Australian Standard AS 4326 - The storage and handling of oxidizing agents.

Storage Temperatures Keep at temperatures between 0 °C and 40 °C.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational exposure limit values No exposure standards have been established for this material. However, the available exposure limits for ingredients are listed below: Iron salts, soluble (as Fe) TWA: 1 mg/m³ Manganese, dust & compounds (as Mn) TWA: 1 mg/m³ Disodium tetraborate, anhydrous TWA: 1 mg/m³ Copper, dusts & mists (as Cu) TWA: 1 mg/m³ Source: Safe Work Australia

Biological Monitoring No biological limits allocated.

Control Banding Not available

Engineering Controls This substance is hazardous and should be used with a local exhaust ventilation system, drawing solid/dust away from workers' breathing zone. If the engineering controls are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of particulates below the exposure standards, suitable respiratory protection must be worn.

Respiratory Protection If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure then an approved respirator with a replaceable dust/particulate filter should be used. Refer to relevant regulations for further information concerning respiratory protective requirements. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715, Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary changes for individual circumstances.

Eye and Face Protection Safety glasses with side shields, chemical goggles or full-face shield as appropriate should be used. Final choice of appropriate eye/face protection will vary according to individual circumstances. Eye protection devices should conform to relevant regulations. Eye protection should conform with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 (series) - Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications.

Hand Protection Wear gloves of impervious material such as Nitrile rubber (0.26 mm)(breakthrough time >8h). Final choice of appropriate gloves will vary according to individual circumstances. i.e. methods of handling or according to risk assessments undertaken. Occupational protective gloves should conform to relevant regulations. Reference should be made to AS/NZS 2161.1: Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance.

Thermal Hazards No further relevant information available.
