Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air. Seek medical attention for symptoms like coughing, difficulty breathing, or persistent irritation.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with plenty of soap and water. Continue rinsing for at least 15 minutes.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with clean, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Consult a medical professional promptly.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Call a doctor or poison control center without delay.
Delayed/Immediate Effects: Prolonged exposure may produce symptoms like skin redness, eye watering, and shortness of breath.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream on burning chemical; may spread fire
Specific Hazards: Combustion can emit carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrogen fluoride, and other hazardous decomposition products
Protective Equipment: Full protective suit, self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Procedures: Use water spray to cool containers kept in the fire proximity. Prevent runoff from entering waterways and drains.
Explosion Risk: No significant explosion hazard under normal conditions
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment: gloves (nitrile or latex), goggles, lab coat, face shield if risk of splashing
Evacuation Procedures: Evacuate area except trained responders. Ventilate the area with fresh air.
Containment: Avoid formation of dust or aerosols. Prevent spill from entering soil, waterways, or drains.
Clean-up Methods: Absorb spill with inert material such as vermiculite or sand. Sweep up in chemical waste container. Wash spill site after clean-up.
Environmental Precautions: Notify authorities if product enters sewer or watercourse.
Safe Handling: Wear protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection at all times. Use within fume hood or in a well-ventilated workspace. Avoid inhaling vapors or aerosols. Handle away from heat, spark, open flame, and incompatible materials like strong oxidizers.
Safe Storage: Store in tightly closed, properly labeled container. Keep in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sunlight. Store away from incompatibles. Keep temperature stable, preferably below 25°C to prevent decomposition.
Other Precautions: Keep container upright. Store chemicals separately from food and drink supplies. Limit access to trained personnel.
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood and mechanical exhaust for ventilation.
Personal Protection: Nitrile gloves, lab coat, safety goggles, face shield. Respiratory protection (respirator with organic vapor cartridge) necessary under inadequate ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent workplace release to environment, assure proper waste disposal.
