Safety Highlights

Not classified as a hazardous substance or mixture under GHS/Hazardous Products Regulations. Dust contact can cause mechanical irritation to skin and eyes. Fine dust, when suspended in air in sufficient concentration with an ignition source, may form explosive mixtures.

Flammable Liquid

May form explosive dust-air mixtures during processing or handling. Minimize accumulation, control dispersion, and eliminate ignition sources; use grounding/bonding.

Toxic on Contact

Dust can cause drying or irritation of skin and eyes on contact. Avoid direct exposure.

Corrosive Agent

In fire, use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full PPE.

Emergency Measures

Store in properly labeled containers per applicable national regulations. Keep closed, in a cool, dry place away from strong oxidizing agents. Prevent dust buildup.

Proper Storage

UN3077; Proper shipping name: Environmentally hazardous substance, solid, n.o.s. (Febantel);

Class 9; Packing Group III; Marine pollutant.

Environmental Care

Avoid release to environment. Contain spills immediately; do not use compressed air to clean dust. Significant uncontained releases must be reported to authorities.

Particulate respirator if ventilation is insufficient, safety goggles or face shield, chemical-resistant gloves (double gloving recommended for high exposure), protective clothing, and access to eye-flush and safety shower.

Frequently Asked Questions

Although this formulation is not classified as hazardous under GHS/Hazardous Products Regulations, it can still irritate skin and eyes, and airborne dust may pose an explosion risk. This section covers safe handling, storage, PPE requirements, spill response, and environmental precautions.

Is this formulation classified as hazardous?

No—under GHS/Hazardous Products Regulations the mixture is not classified as hazardous, so no signal word or pictograms are required. However, dust can irritate skin and eyes, and suspended dust poses an explosion risk, so controls are still necessary.

How should I handle and store the powder safely?

Handle in well-ventilated areas with dust suppression. Ground and bond equipment to prevent static ignition. Keep containers closed, labeled, and stored away from strong oxidizers. Avoid creating airborne dust.

What PPE is recommended during use?

Use a particulate respirator if ventilation is inadequate, safety goggles or face shield, chemical-resistant gloves (consider double gloving), and protective clothing. Ensure proper decontamination and degowning after handling.

What do I do in case of a spill?

Prevent dust dispersion: sweep or vacuum into appropriate containers (do not use compressed air). Contain the material, avoid environmental release, and if the spill is significant and cannot be contained, notify local authorities.

Is the product harmful to the environment?

Yes. It is designated as an environmentally hazardous substance (marine pollutant). Releases should be avoided, and any spill cleaned up immediately following environmental and disposal regulations.
