2. Composition/Information on Ingredients
For detailed composition see the appropriate specification.
These products are not considered hazardous to health according to EC Directive, but may contain
substances that cause sensitisation, allergic or an irritant response.
3. Exposure Limits
To comply with the control of substances hazardous to health regulations and the assigned MEL,
it is necessary to reduce exposure to product dust, so far as is reasonably practicable below the
maximum exposure limit. This can be achieved by elimination, substitution, enclosure, ventilation
and the use of personal protective equipment.
MEL:
STEL:
10mg/m3 for an 8 hour time weighted average.
30mg/m3 for a short term exposure limit of 15 minutes.
COSHH regulations impose a duty on all employers to take reasonable precautions and to exercise
all due diligence to ensure that exposure should be kept as afr below the MEL as is reasonably
practicable, personal exposure to any dust through enclosure, ventilation and the provision and use
of personal protective equipment.

4. Hazard Identification
Physical/chemical hazards:
The product is combustible and when handling fine powdered
products there is a risk of dust explosions.
Environmental hazards:
None.
Human Health hazards:
Contains substances, which may cause sensitisation, allergic or
irritant response. Inhalation of dust may induce sensitisation and
may cause allergic reactions in sensitised individuals. It may also
cause irritation of the respiratory tract e.g. rhinitis. Prolonged skin
contact may cause contact dermatitis and /or/ minor irritation. The
product is combustible and when handling fine powdered products
there is a risk of dust explosions.
5. First Aid Measures
Inhalation-
Product dust may cause asthmatic reactions in a small proportion of
susceptible people. Remove affected person from area of exposure and
preferably into fresh air. Obtain medical attention if breathing problems
persist.
Ingestion -
Not applicable.
Skin contact Product dust can have a drying effect on the skin. Rinse affected area with
clean running water. For hygienic reasons it should be cleaned from broken
skin to reduce the risk of infection.
Eye Contact - Product dust may cause discomfort and the eyes should be washed with
fresh, clean running water. Obtain medical attention if irritation persists.
6. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguish with water(red) or foam(cream).
Extinguish with powder(blue) should there be an electrical risk or electrical fire.
Extinguish with foam(cream) or powder(blue) if burning liquids are involved.
Use of carbon dioxide(black) may incur a risk of generating an ignitable dust cloud.

7. Explosion data
Protect against fire and dust explosion. Good housekeeping to avoid the accumulation of dust.
High concentrations of dust are potentially explosive. Avoid all ignition sources.
8. Accidental Release Measures:
Vacuuming is the preferred method of cleaning. Vacum cleaners and their attachments must be
spark free and earthed.
Prevent spills from entering sewers and watercourses. Report any such spillage or release to the
appropriate environmental authorities.
If general dust cannot be avoided, then dust masks to FFP3 standard are recommended.
9. Handling & Storage:
Product should be stored at ambient temperatures in dry, cool conditions. Products are usually
supplied in IBCs or multi-layer paper sacks.
Avoid creation of dust when handling and keep the working area free from accumulated dust and
ignition sources. Use extraction facilities to minimise dust emission to atmosphere. Local Exhaust
Ventilation (LEV) or enclosure of processes should be used where possible.
Static Electricity – Pneumatic intake from tankers can give rise to static electricity. Accordingly it
is essential for blow lines to be earthed, suitable earth points must be provided.
10. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Local ventilation recommended in accordance with LEV requirements.
Where continual skin contact or repeated skin washing is required, gloves should be worn to
prevent the possibility of dermatitis.
Overalls and dust respirators (FFP3 standard) are recommended when handling loose
material.
Spillages should be removed without delay to maintain hygiene standards and to minimise the
level of product dust in the atmosphere. Use vacuum cleaners for general cleaning. When shovels
have to be used for larger volumes respiratory protective equipment should be worn. Brushing
should be eliminated.
Minimise the creation of airborne dust when folding / disposing of empty bags – e.g. roll bag up
from the bottom whilst tipping;
Minimise the use of compressed air lines for cleaning. When an air jet is unavoidable, a combined
air jet / vacuum device should be used.
