First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air. Keep at rest. Seek medical help if symptoms linger.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with plenty of water and soap. Get medical attention for irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses. Seek medical attention if discomfort or redness persists.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call poison control or physician immediately.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water fog, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct streams of water which may scatter material
Specific Hazards: Thermal decomposition may produce toxic and corrosive vapors such as phosphorus oxides, sulfur oxides, fluorine compounds, hydrogen fluoride
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear; evacuate nonessential personnel; avoid inhaling hazardous fumes
Fire-fighting Instructions: Cool exposed containers with water spray. Prevent runoff from entering drains or open water.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid skin and eye contact. Use suitable protective gear, including gloves and goggles. Remove ignition sources. Ventilate area.
Containment Methods: Stop leak if safe. Prevent entry into drains, sewers, or watercourses.
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with inert material such as sand or earth. Scoop into appropriate closed containers for disposal. Wash spill site with soap and water after clean-up. Report significant releases to appropriate authorities.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Work in well-ventilated conditions. Avoid formation of dust or aerosols. Use appropriate personal protective equipment. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling. Avoid contact with incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers.
Storage: Store in tightly closed, labeled containers. Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Separate from acids, oxidizers, and reactive chemicals. Keep away from food and animal feed.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for this substance’s components.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation for dusty or vapor-generating operations. Maintain eye-wash stations and safety showers nearby.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles or face protection. Use respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate or concentrations are excessive.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, face, and exposed skin thoroughly after handling and before eating, smoking, or leaving the work area.
