agents, or multi purpose dry powder extinguishers.
SPECIAL EXPOSURE HAZARDS: In common with most organic substances, this product
should be treated as a combustible dust when in the finely-divided and air suspended state.
Combustion products are those typical of ordinary combustion of organic material. Surfaces
that may be covered by the product will become extremely slippery upon application of water.
In the event of spillage - shovel, sweep or vacuum, if dry. CAUTION: The use of water
washdown is not recommended unless the spilled material is already wet. Wet material on a
walking surface will be extremely slippery. Wet spills should be thoroughly flushed to a drain
with water until non-slippery, and all traces have been removed.

recommended that local exhaust ventilation is used to reduce build up or spread of dust into
the atmosphere.
STORAGE: To maintain optimum product performance, store in a cool, dry place, in sealed
containers.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If handling generates dust levels which cause irritation, or
results in personal exposure exceeding the Occupational Exposure Standard (OES) of 10mg
M鲁 (8 hr TWA reference period) for total inhalable dust, then suitable approved dust respirator
should be used. Personal exposure to dust should ideally be controlled to the lowest level
possible below the OES.
HAND PROTECTION: Gloves are recommended if extended exposure anticipated.
EYE PROTECTION: The use of suitable eye protection is recommended if high dust
concentrations are present.
SKIN PROTECTION: Norma! working clothes.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended if handling
generates dust concentrations that exceed the OES.
Hazardous Decomposition: This product does not undergo spontaneous decomposition. The
thermal decomposition products may include carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Hazardous
Polymerisation will not occur.
