Section 4: First-Aid Measures

Description of first aid measures:
In case of inhalation: If breathed in, move person into fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Consult a
physician.
In case of skin contact: Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a physician.
In case of eye contact: Flush eyes with water as a precaution.
In case of ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Rinse mouth
with water. Consult a physician.

Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed:
Inhalation: May be harmful if inhaled; may cause respiratory tract irritation.
Eyes: May cause eye irritation.
Skin contact: May be harmful if absorbed through skin; may cause skin irritation.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed.
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed: Treat symptomatically. Show this
safety data sheet to a physician or emergency room.


Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguisher media:
Suitable extinguisher media: Powder Fires: Class D extinguisher or special powder for metal fires. Do not use water.
Solid Material Fires: Non-flammable. Use extinguishing media suitable for surrounding material and type of fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.
Special hazards arising from the mixture: Rhenium oxides.
Advice for fire-fighters: Firefighters must wear full face, self-contained breathing apparatus with full protective
clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.
Further information: Flammable in the form of dust or powder when exposed to heat or flame. Ignites in oxygen at
300 °C. Violent reaction with fluorine at 125 °C. Contact with acids can generate flammable hydrogen gas. Use
extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Personal precautions: Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Wear appropriate respiratory and protective
equipment as specified in Section 8.
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. Do not let product enter drains.

Methods for containment and cleaning up:
Methods for cleaning up: Remove all sources of ignition and provide ventilation. Sweep, scoop or collect with an
electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing up and place in a closed container for disposal. Do not
generate dust during clean-up. Use non-sparking tools. Dispose of all waste in accordance with federal, state and local
laws.

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: Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Provide appropriate
exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Keep ignition sources away. Protect against electrostatic charges.
Hygiene measures: Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.

Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities:
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Store in a cool, dry area. Store in a tightly-sealed container. Do not
store together with oxidizing or acidic materials.


Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Control parameters:
Occupational exposure limits: Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values

Exposure controls:
Appropriate engineering controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
control airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and
safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Eye/face protection: Safety glasses or goggles with side-shields conforming to EN166. Use equipment for eye
protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Hand protection: Rubber gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without
touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in
accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
