Ingestion Never attempt to induce vomiting. Do not attempt to give any solid or liquid
by mouth if the exposed subject is unconscious or semi-conscious. Wash
out the mouth with water. If the exposed subject is fully conscious, give
plenty of water to drink. Obtain medical attention.
Inhalation Using appropriate personal protective equipment, move exposed subject to
fresh air. If breathing is difficult or ceases, ensure and maintain ventilation.
Give oxygen as appropriate. The exposed subject should be kept warm and
at rest. Obtain medical attention in cases of known or possible over
exposure, or with symptoms including chest pain, difficulty breathing, loss of
consciousness or other adverse effects, which may be delayed.
Skin Contact Using appropriate personal protective equipment, remove contaminated
clothing and flush exposed area with large amounts of water. Obtain
medical attention if skin reaction occurs, which may be immediate or
delayed.
Eye Contact Wash immediately with clean and gently flowing water. Continue for at least
15 minutes. Obtain medical attention.
NOTES TO HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
Medical Treatment Treat according to locally accepted protocols. For additional guidance, refer
to the local poison control information centre.
Medical Conditions
Caused or Aggravated
by Exposure
None for occupational exposure.
Health Surveillance
Procedures
Pre-placement and periodic health surveillance is not usually indicated. The
final determination of the need for health surveillance should be determined
by local risk assessment. Exposed individuals are encouraged to report
symptoms of skin and respiratory irritation to an occupational health
professional or line management. These symptoms may include, but are not
limited to, skin conditions, bronchitis, asthma, or nasal irritation.
Antidotes No specific antidotes are recommended.
Fire and Explosion
Hazards
This material is non-combustible.
Dust clouds are potentially of very low sensitivity to ignition from incendive
electrostatic discharges.
Dust clouds are of very low sensitivity to ignition from hot surfaces.
No ignition or exotherm of a powder layer observed up to 400 °C.
Ignition of a dust cloud produces a weak dust explosion.
Moderate pressure between 6 and 8 bar is produced during a dust
explosion.
Extinguishing Media No special requirements needed. Water is recommended for fires involving
packaging.
Special Firefighting
Procedures
Since toxic, corrosive or flammable vapours might be evolved from fires
involving this material, self contained breathing apparatus and full
protective equipment are recommended for firefighters.
Move containers from the fire area if possible without increased personal
risk.
If possible, contain and collect firefighting water for later disposal.
Hazardous Combustion
Products
Toxic or corrosive thermal decomposition products are expected when this
material is exposed to fire.
Personal Precautions Fence or cordon the affected area and do not allow individuals to touch or
walk through the spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective
clothing. Avoid dust generation.

Material
SDS Number Version 01
Environmental Precautions Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, surface drainage systems and poorly
ventilated areas. If spill is outdoors, cover with plastic sheet to minimise
spreading or contact with rain.
Clean-up Methods Collect and place it in a suitable, properly labelled container for recovery or
disposal. After all solid or absorbent material has been collected, the area
should be vacuumed with HEPA filter-equipped apparatus.
Decontamination
Procedures
No specific decontamination or detoxification procedures have been
identified for this material. Consider use of water, detergent solutions, or
other soluble solvents (as specified in Section 9 of this SDS), for clean-up
and decontamination operations.
HANDLING
GSK Process Hazard
Category
3
General Requirements Avoid dispersion as a dust cloud.
Depending upon the scale of operation, use of appropriate exhaust
ventilation is recommended to provide routine control of fire and explosion
hazards during handling of this material.
Ignition Controls Bond and earth (ground) all plant and equipment to ensure that no isolated
conductors are present. Isolated conductors can accumulate sufficient
electrostatic charge to produce discharges of many hundreds of milli-Joules.
The maximum surface temperature of enclosures potentially exposed to this
material should be the lower of the values obtained by taking 2/3 of the
minimum ignition temperature for a dust cloud or 75 K less than the
minimum ignition temperature of the dust layer, with a maximum
temperature of 325 °C.
Protective Systems Assess operations based upon available dust explosion information to
determine the suitability of preventive or protective systems as
precautionary measures against possible dust explosions. If prevention is
not possible, consider protection by use of containment, venting or
suppression of dust handling equipment. Where explosion venting is
considered the most appropriate method of protection, vent areas should
preferably be calculated based on the Kst rather than the St value.
If nitrogen purging is considered as the protective system, it must operate
with an oxygen level below the limiting oxygen concentration. The system
should include an oxygen monitoring and shut-down facility in the event of
excessive oxygen being detected.
At ambient humidity, this material is of appreciable conductivity.
Generation and accumulation of electrostatic charge is considered unlikely
to occur when handled in an earthed (grounded) environment.
At low humidity, this material is of low conductivity. Generation of
electrostatic charge is considered likely to occur even when handled in an
earthed (grounded) environment.
At ambient humidity, this material has a fast charge relaxation time.
Accumulation of electrostatic charge is considered unlikely to occur when
handled in an earthed (grounded) environment. At the end of the charge
accumulation process charge is expected to be readily lost to earth (ground).
At low humidity, this material has a long charge relaxation time.
Accumulation of electrostatic charge is considered likely to occur even
when handled in an earthed (grounded) environment. Under these
conditions, it is considered that this material might present a very high risk
of producing an electrostatic discharge.

Material
SDS Number Version 01
STORAGE Keep in tightly closed containers or packages away from moisture and away
from sources of ignition.
Avoid prolonged storage at elevated temperatures (greater than room
temperature, approximately 20 degrees C).
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Containment Open handling may result in overexposure.
Ventilation Local exhaust ventilation (LEV) is recommended.
Administrative Entry to the working area should be controlled.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye Protection Not required for the normal handling of this material.
Gloves Glove selection must take into account any solvents and other hazards
present. Care must be exercised if insufficient data are available and further
guidance should be sought from your local EHS department. Potential
allergic reactions can occur with certain glove materials (e.g. Latex) and
therefore these should be avoided.
Respirators If respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is used, the type of RPE will
depend upon air concentrations present, required protection factor as well
as hazards, physical properties and warning properties of substances
present. Follow local regulations for respirator use in the workplace.
Other Equipment or
Procedures
Wash hands and arms thoroughly after handling.
