SECTION 4: First aid measures
If inhaled
:
Move to fresh air in case of accidental inhalation of dust or
fumes from overheating or combustion. If symptoms persist,
call a physician.
In case of skin contact
:
If the molten material gets on skin, quickly cool in water. Seek
immediate medical attention. Do not try to peel the solidified
material from the skin or use solvents or thinners to dissolve it.
In case of eye contact
:
In the case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty
of water and seek medical advice.
If swallowed
:
Do not induce vomiting without medical advice.
SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Flash point
:
No data available
Autoignition temperature
:
No data available
Suitable extinguishing
media
:
Water. Water mist. Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Foam. If possible, water should be applied as a spray from a
fogging nozzle since this is a surface burning material. The
application of high velocity water will spread the burning
surface layer. Avoid the use of straight streams that may
create a dust cloud and the risk of a dust explosion. Use
extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Specific hazards during fire
fighting
:
Risks of ignition followed by flame propagation or secondary
explosions can be caused by the accumulation of dust, e.g. on
floors and ledges.
Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters
:
Use personal protective equipment. Wear self-contained
breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.
