Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, continue rinsing, seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do NOT induce vomiting, drink water if conscious, get medical advice.
Most Important Symptoms: Burning sensation, coughing, shortness of breath, redness, blisters, permanent eye damage possible.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide.
Specific Hazards: May emit toxic fumes of phosphorus oxides, hydrogen fluoride, imidazole derivatives.
Protective Equipment: Wear SCBA, full protective gear against chemical exposure.
Firefighting Considerations: Cool closed containers with water spray, avoid breathing fumes.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate, wear protective clothing, gloves, and safety goggles.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from entering drains, soil, or water bodies.
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material like dry sand or earth, place in chemical waste container, wash spill site after material pickup.
Safe Handling: Use in fume hood, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, avoid inhaling vapor or dust.
Storage Conditions: Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from moisture, incompatible materials like acids, bases, and oxidizers.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, bases, moisture, acids.
Engineering Controls: Work in local exhaust or chemical fume hood, ensure eyewash stations and safety showers are accessible.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), protective goggles or face shield, lab coat or chemical apron, use respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.
Hygienic Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
