Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry powder, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, or water spray.
Specific Hazards: Can produce toxic fumes, including nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides, when burned.
Protective Equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear. Avoid inhaling vapors. Cool fire-exposed containers with water spray.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Not highly flammable, but may decompose at high temperature releasing hazardous gases.
Advice for Firefighters: Use caution. Keep personnel upwind and away from fire area.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Use appropriate protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and respirator if ventilation is poor.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, surface water, or soil.
Spill Cleanup Methods: Use inert absorbent material such as sand or vermiculite. Collect in suitable containers for disposal. Ventilate spill area. Wash contaminated surface with water and detergent.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Never eat, drink, or smoke in handling areas. Wash hands before breaks and after handling. Wear protective equipment.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed and in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place. Avoid sources of ignition. Store away from direct sunlight, incompatible substances (strong oxidizers, acids, or bases). Store in original or chemically compatible containers. Keep out of reach of children.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits established.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or chemical fume hood. Provide eyewash station and safety shower.
