Special hazards arising from the mixture: Tungsten oxide.
Advice for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear fully protective impervious suit.
Further information: None.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Personal precautions: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Avoid dust formation.
Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition.
Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods for containment and cleaning up:
Methods for cleaning up: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills
immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-
proof tool. Isolate area and deny entry.
Reference to other sections:
Treat recovered material as described in the section "Disposal considerations".
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Advice on safe handling: Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Ground and
bond containers when transferring material. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Avoid contact with
skin and eyes. Empty containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Avoid contact
with heat, sparks and flame. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Do not pressurize,
cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose empty containers to heat, sparks or open flames.
Hygiene measures: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.
Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities:
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep away from sources of
ignition. Store in a tightly-closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible
substances. Use flammables area. Do not expose to air. Store under an inert atmosphere.
