Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Show this safety data sheet to the doctor in attendance. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use. 5. Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Water spray. Water fog. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. media Specific hazards arising from High concentrations of dust may form explosive mixture with air. the chemical Special protective equipment Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure and precautions for firefighters demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Fire-fighting Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure equipment/instructions demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spills cannot protective equipment and be contained. Keep upwind. Keep out of low areas. Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Do emergency procedures not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. See Section 8 of the SDS for Personal Protective Equipment. Methods and materials for ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). containment and cleaning up Extinguish all flames in the vicinity. Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Small Spills: Sweep or shovel up material and place in a clearly labeled container for waste. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Prevent product from entering drains. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Environmental precautions If facility or operation has an "oil or hazardous substance contingency plan", activate its procedures. Stay upwind and away from spill. Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant. Do not enter or stay in area unless monitoring indicates that it is safe to do so. Isolate hazard area and restrict entry to emergency crew. Combustible dust. Review Firefighting Measures, Section 5, before proceeding with clean up. Keep all sources of ignition (flames , smoking, flares, etc.) and hot surfaces away from release. Contain spill in smallest possible area. Recover as much product as possible (e.g. by vacuuming). Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Spilled material may be absorbed by an appropriate absorbent, and then handled in accordance with environmental regulations. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized treatment or drainage systems and natural waterways. Contact fire authorities and appropriate federal, state and local agencies. If spill of any amount is made into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines, contact the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802. For highway or railways spills, contact Chemtrec at 1-800-424-9300. 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing dust or vapor. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Avoid release to the environment. In the United States of America, refer to NFPA® Pamphlet No. 654, Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions in the Chemical, Dye, Pharmaceutical, and Plastics Industries." Petroleum Coke - Anode, Fluid and Fuel Grade 912487 Version #: 02 Revison date: 28-May-2014 Print date: 28-May-2014 2 / 6 Prepared by 3E Company Conditions for safe storage, Routine housekeeping should be instituted to ensure that dusts do not accumulate on surfaces. including any incompatibilities Dry powders can build static electricity charges when subjected to the friction of transfer and mixing operations. Provide adequate precautions, such as electrical grounding and bonding, or inert atmospheres. Refer to NFPA 654, Standard for the Prevention of Fire and Dust Explosions from the Manufacturing, Processing, and Handling of Combustible Particulate Solids, for safe handling. Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat or other sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Keep out of the reach of children. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s). Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Exposure guidelines No exposure standards allocated. Appropriate engineering Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust controls ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. It is recommended that all dust control equipment such as local exhaust ventilation and material transport systems involved in handling of this product contain explosion relief vents or an explosion suppression system or an oxygen deficient environment. 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 area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment). Use only appropriately classified electrical equipment and powered industrial trucks. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Safety glasses. Skin protection Hand protection Wear chemical-resistant, impervious gloves. Other Full body suit and boots are recommended when handling large volumes or in emergency situations. Flame retardant protective clothing is recommended. Respiratory protection Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the selected respirator. If workplace exposure limits for product or components are exceeded, NIOSH approved equipment should be worn. Proper respirator selection should be determined by adequately trained personnel, based on the contaminants, the degree of potential exposure and published respiratory protection factors. This equipment should be available for nonroutine and emergency use. Thermal hazards When material is heated, wear gloves to protect against thermal burns.
