Specific Methods: Contain run-off, avoid using water directly on powder piles
Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask, goggles, and gloves; ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from entering drains or waterways
Clean-up Methods: Collect spillage using vacuum with HEPA filter or damp sweeping, avoid dry sweeping to reduce dust
Disposal: Place in sealed containers, consider possible food-grade waste streams for proper disposal
Handling: Minimize dust generation, use local exhaust or general ventilation, keep away from ignition sources
Technical Measures: Employ dust controls if handling large quantities, ground equipment to avoid static buildup
Advice on Safe Handling: Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking while working with product
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, tightly sealed containers, protect from sunlight, heat, and moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, direct heat sources
Exposure Limits: No established workplace exposure limits
