Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately. If breathing becomes difficult, provide oxygen or seek medical attention. Do not let affected person walk unattended.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Flush skin with large amounts of water and mild soap. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Rinse opened eye for at least 15 minutes under running water, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Consult an eye specialist.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by a doctor. Offer water to drink in small amounts. Seek medical attention immediately.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Avoid direct water jet on burning material
Specific Hazards: May emit hazardous gases during combustion such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and hydrogen fluoride
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Firefighting Advice: Cool containers with water spray to prevent pressure build-up. Prevent fire-fighting water from entering drains or watercourses.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area if large spill. Use personal protective equipment including gloves, eye and face protection, and appropriate respirator. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not allow product to reach sewage system, surface water, or groundwater.
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material such as dry sand or earth. Sweep up and place in suitable closed chemical waste container for disposal. Clean contaminated surface with suitable cleaning detergent.
Handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Do not breathe vapors or mist. Use only with local exhaust ventilation or in a chemical fume hood. Keep away from sources of ignition and incompatible substances.
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated location. Protect from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use. Store away from strong oxidizers, acids, or bases.
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for this material.
Engineering Controls: Use with adequate ventilation. Process enclosures and local exhaust recommended.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or similar), safety goggles or face shield, lab coat or protective coveralls. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory protection such as NIOSH-approved respirator.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face after handling. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Prohibit eating, drinking, and smoking in work area.
