exhaust ventilation.
Protection against fire and explosion:
No special precautions necessary.
Storage
Further information on storage conditions: No special precautions necessary.
8. Exposure controls and personal protection
Components with workplace control parameters
Refer to the current edition of HSE Guidance Note EH40 Occupational Exposure Limits (United
Kingdom).
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection:
Suitable respiratory protection for lower concentrations or short-term effect: Particle filter with
medium efficiency for solid and liquid particles (e.g. EN 143 or 149, Type P2 or FFP2)
Hand protection:
Chemical resistant protective gloves (EN 374)
Suitable materials also with prolonged, direct contact (Recommended: Protective index 6,
corresponding > 480 minutes of permeation time according to EN 374):
e.g. nitrile rubber (0.4 mm), chloroprene rubber (0.5 mm), polyvinylchloride (0.7 mm) and other
Supplementary note: The specifications are based on tests, literature data and information of glove
manufacturers or are derived from similar substances by analogy. Due to many conditions (e.g.
temperature) it must be considered, that the practical usage of a chemical-protective glove in
practice may be much shorter than the permeation time determined through testing.
Manufacturer's directions for use should be observed because of great diversity of types.

a similar structure and composition.
12. Ecological information
Ecotoxicity
Assessment of aquatic toxicity:
At the present state of knowledge, no negative ecological effects are expected.
Persistence and degradability
Assessment biodegradation and elimination (H2O):
Inorganic product which cannot be eliminated from water by biological purification processes. The
product is virtually insoluble in water and can thus be separated from water mechanically in suitable
effluent treatment plants.
Other adverse effects
Adsorbable organically-bound halogen (AOX):
This product contains no organically-bound halogen.
Additional information
Other ecotoxicological advice:
The inhibition of the degradation activity of activated sludge is not anticipated when introduced to
biological treatment plants in appropriate low concentrations.
13. Disposal considerations
Must be dumped or incinerated in accordance with local regulations.
The UK Environmental Protection (Duty of Care) Regulations (EP) and amendments should be noted
