Most Important Symptoms/Effects: Eye pain, skin rash, coughing, sore throat
Information for Healthcare Provider: Treat symptomatically, provide respiratory support if needed, manage airway
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam, water spray can be applied for cooling
Unsuitable Media: Avoid direct water jet; splashes may spread the chemical
Specific Hazards: Product can give off toxic gases like sulfur oxides and hydrogen fluoride when heated to decomposition, possible irritant fumes released during fire
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical protective suit, gloves and boots required for effective shielding
Firefighting Instructions: Approach fire from upwind, prevent run-off if safe to do so, cool containers with water spray even after fire is put out
Personal Precautions: Only allow trained personnel in spill area, ventilate area thoroughly, avoid breathing vapors or dusts, use personal protective equipment like gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains, water sources or soil, notify local environmental authorities if contamination occurs
Containment Techniques: Stop leak if possible without risk, block exposure path to surface water
Methods for Cleaning Up: Soak up liquid with inert absorbent material such as sand or vermiculite, scoop residue into a suitable container, seal container for disposal, clean spill area with soap and water, keep cleaning materials for hazardous waste collection
Safe Handling Advice: Use in well-ventilated settings, keep container tightly sealed when not in use, avoid spilling or generating dust, do not ingest or breathe vapor, wash hands thoroughly after use
Hygiene Recommendations: Wear protective gloves, clothing, and eye protection, keep personal protective equipment on during all interactions
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store product in original, tightly closed container, keep away from heat, direct sunlight, oxidizing agents, acids and bases, maintain storage temperature below 30°C, store away from food and beverages
Incompatible Materials: Do not store with strong oxidizers or strong acids, avoid sources of static discharge
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established, use caution
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood, exhaust ventilation, maintain area air quality with regular checks
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical splash goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, long-sleeved laboratory coats, use of respiratory protection if airborne concentration increases
Protection for Skin and Eyes: Wear face shield for riskier procedures, check gloves for leaks often, decontaminate equipment after use
