SECTION7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
AVOID DISPENSING DUST IN AIR AND EXPOSURE TO POTENTIAL IGNITION SOURCES. REMOVE FEED DUST
FROM AREA/PROCESSING EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO USING ANY HEAT PRODUCING EQUIPMENT SUCH AS ARC
WELDERS, CUTTING TORCHES AND SPARK/HEAT PRODUCING TOOLS SUCH AS PORTABLE SURFACE
GRINDERS.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: OXIDES OF CARBON
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: EXTINGUISH WITH WATER FOG, DRY CHEMICAL POWDERS OR FOAM.
DO NOT USE STRONG STREAMS OF WATER OR DRY CHEMICAL IF DUST CAN BE DISPERSED INTO THE AIR.
DUST PLACED IN SUSPENSION WITH AN IGNITION SOURCE PRESENT MAY FLASH OR EXPLODE.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: EXPLOSION HAZARD MAY EXIST FOR COMBUSTIBLE DUSTS OF
CERTAIN PARTICLE SIZE AND MOISTURE CONTENT WHEN SUSPENDED IN AIR AT CERTAIN CONCENTRATIONS
AND SUBJECTED TO AN IGNITION SOURCE.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
CLEAN UP WITH SOFT BRISTLE BROOM(S) OR A VACUUM APPROVED FOR A CLASS II HAZARDOUS LOCATION.
DUST DEPOSITS SHOULD BE MAINTAINED TO A MINIMUM ON SURFACES, AS THESE COULD FORM AN
EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE IF THEY ARE RELEASED INTO THE ATMOSPHERE IN SUFFICIENT CONCENTRATION.
AVOID DISPERSAL OF DUST IN THE AIR (I.E. CLEANING DUST SURFACES WITH COMPRESSED AIR IN THE
PRESENCE OF IGNITION SOURCE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED.) NON-SPARKING TOOLS SHOULD BE USED.
EYE CONTACT: FLUSH EYES WITH WATER. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION AS NEEDED.
SKIN CONTACT: WASH AFFECTED SKIN WITH SOAP AND WATER.
SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
INHALATION: REMOVE PERSON FROM EXPOSURE. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR ANY BREATHING
DIFFICULTY.
INGESTION: IF SWALLOWED, GIVE SEVERAL GLASSES OF WATER TO DILUTE. NEVER GIVE ANYTHING BY
MOUTH TO AN UNCONSCIOUS PERSON.
SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENSURE THAT DUST HANDLING SYSTEMS (SUCH AS EXHAUST DUCTS, DUST COLLECTORS, VESSELS, AND
PROCESSING EQUIPMENT) ARE DESIGNED IN A MANNER TO PREVENT THE ESCAPE OF DUST INTO THE WORK
AREAS. USE ONLY APPROPRIATELY CLASSIFIED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND POWERED INDUSTRIAL
TRUCKS.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: N/A
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: MAY CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE NASAL MEMBRANES OR THE UPPER
RESPIRATORY TRACT IF DUST EXCEEDS THE NUISANCE LEVEL. WEAR AN APPROVED NIOSH DUST
RESPIRATOR WHENEVER DUST CONCENTRATIONS IN THE WORK AREA ARE ABOVE ACGIH TLV/OSHA PELS.
VENTILATION: LOCAL EXHAUST: IF NEEDED
MECHANICAL (GENERAL): IF NEEDED
