Prevent further leakage or spillage if it can be done without risk. Ensure that the product does not enter the sewage system. Prevent discharge to the environment.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleanup
Collect and dispose of dust in a manner that minimises its airborne re‑dispersion. Sweep up and shovel into a suitable, closed container for disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Prevent dust and aerosol formation. When processing solids, be aware that combustible dust may form, thereby creating a dust explosion hazard. Ensure that adequate extraction is provided in areas where dust is generated. Refer to section 2.2 for further precautions.
7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in a tightly closed container in a dry and well‑ventilated area. Store in a dry place as the product is hygroscopic. Storage group (TRGS 510): Non‑combustible, acutely toxic Category 3 / toxic substances or substances with chronic effects.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
8.1 Exposure limit values
Components with workplace control parameters are present.
8.2 Exposure controls
Implement appropriate technical controls. Follow good occupational hygiene and safety practices. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the working day.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear eye protection and a face shield that comply with the standards of the relevant authorities such as NIOSH (USA) or EN 166 (EU).
Skin protection
Wear gloves. Test gloves before use. Use correct technique when removing gloves (avoid contact with the outer surface) to prevent skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves in accordance with local regulations and good laboratory practise. Wash hands and dry thoroughly.
Body protection
Wear a full chemical protection suit. Select the type of protective clothing according to the concentration and quantity of the hazardous substance at the workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment indicates that an air‑purifying respirator is appropriate, use a full‑face particulate respirator of type N100 (US) or P3 (EN 143) with appropriate filters in addition to technical controls. If the respirator is the sole protective measure, use a full‑face supplied-air respirator. Ensure respirators and components comply with the standards of relevant authorities, such as NIOSH (USA) or CEN (EU).
Environmental exposure control
Prevent further leakage or spillage if it can be done without risk. Do not allow the product to enter the sewage system. Discharge to the environment must be prevented.
