Administrative data
First-aid measures
· General information: Take note of the following instructions.
No special measures required.
· After inhalation: Supply fresh air; consult a doctor in case of complaints.
· After skin contact: Generally the product does not irritate the skin.
· After eye contact: Rinse opened eye for several minutes under running water.
· After swallowing: If symptoms persist consult doctor.
Fire-fighting measures
· Suitable extinguishing agents:
Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions.
· Special hazards caused by the substance, its products of combustion or resulting gases:
Under certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic gases cannot be excluded.
· Protective equipment:
Mount respiratory protective device.
Wear protective equipment.
· Additional information
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated fire fighting water in accordance with official regulations.
Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter the sewage system.
Accidental release measures
· Person-related safety precautions:
Wear protective clothing.
Avoid formation of dust.
· Measures for environmental protection:
Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.
· Measures for cleaning/collecting:
Sweep the spill area; avoid raising dust.
Dispose contaminated material as waste according to subsection "disposal considerations".
Ensure adequate ventilation.
Clean the affected area carefully; suitable cleaners are:
Use appropriate industrial vacuum cleaners or central vacuum systems for dust removal.
· Additional information:
See subsection "handling and storage" for information on safe handling.
See subsection "exposure controls/personal protection" for information on personal protection equipment.
See subsection "disposal considerations" for disposal information.

Exposure controls / personal protection
· Additional information about design of technical facilities: see subsection "handling and storage".
· Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:
14808-60-7 quartz (SiO2)
MAK (Germany): alveolengängige Fraktion
MAK (ALVEO) (Germany): long-term value: 0.15 mg/m³
no longer valid, use only as guidance value
· Additional information: Based on lists valid at date of MSDS creation.
· Personal protective equipment:
· General protective and hygienic measures:
The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.
· Respiratory protection:
If the WEL value is exceeded.
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.
· Protection of hands:
Protective gloves
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
· Material of gloves
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
EN 388: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.
· Penetration time of glove material
EN 420: Minimum requirements for efficiency level 1 for all groups.
For the mixture of chemicals mentioned below the penetration time has to be at least 480 minutes (Permeation according to EN 374 Part 3: Level 6).
The exact break through time has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
· For the permanent contact in work areas without heightened risk of injury (e.g. Laboratory) gloves made of the following material are suitable:
Butyl rubber, BR
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Leather gloves
· For the permanent contact gloves made of the following materials are suitable:
Butyl rubber, BR
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Leather gloves
· For the permanent contact of a maximum of 15 minutes gloves made of the following materials are suitable:
Butyl rubber, BR
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Leather gloves
· As protection from splashes gloves made of the following materials are suitable:
Butyl rubber, BR
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Leather gloves
· Eye protection:
Safety glasses.
· Body protection:
Protective work clothing.
Stability and reactivity
· Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided:
No decomposition if used according to specifications.
· Materials to be avoided: -
. Dangerous reactions: No dangerous reactions known.
· Dangerous decomposition products: No dangerous decompositions products known.
Disposal considerations
· Product:
· Recommendation: Disposal must be made according to official regulations.
· Waste disposal key:
The disposal of the product has to be carried out in accordance with the legal requirements. EWC waste codes are strictly industry-oriented, therefore waste classification has to be done by the waste producer.
· Uncleaned packaging: -
· Recommendation:
Disposal must be made according to official regulations.
