CircuitWorks® Boron Nitride Heat Sink Grease
5. Fire-fighting measures
Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode. :
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
nitrogen oxides
metal oxide/oxides
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Provide adequate ventilation.
Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate
personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into
sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Avoid dust generation. Do not
dry sweep. Vacuum dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed,
labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note:
see Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
Environmental precautions
6. Accidental release measures
: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Personal precautions :
Large spill :
Move containers from spill area. Avoid dust generation. Do not dry sweep. Vacuum
dust with equipment fitted with a HEPA filter and place in a closed, labeled waste
container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Small spill :
Methods for cleaning up
Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from
direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials
(see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until
ready for use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept
upright to prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate
containment to avoid environmental contamination.
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Keep in the original container
or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when
not in use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not
reuse container.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
Storage
:
:
Silica, amorphous, fumed, cryst.-free NIOSH REL (United States, 4/2013).
TWA: 6 mg/m³ 10 hours.
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Engineering measures : Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.
Recommended monitoring
procedures : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal, workplace
atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to determine the effectiveness of
the ventilation or other control measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory
protective equipment. Reference should be made to appropriate monitoring standards.
Reference to national guidance documents for methods for the determination of
hazardous substances will also be required.
