Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: May give off toxic and irritating fumes of bromides and nitrous gases in fire
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Evacuate area, prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams or drinking water supply systems
Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and respirator; avoid direct contact with spilled substance
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so; do not let product enter drains, surface water, or soil
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material (like dry sand or earth) and transfer to appropriate waste container; ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid dust formation and sources of ignition, wash thoroughly before eating or drinking after handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, segregate from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, acids); store away from direct sunlight and heat sources
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation and process enclosure to limit exposure
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-certified respirator when handling large quantities or where ventilation is inadequate
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves, lab coat or apron
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or face shield
Hygiene Measures: Wash thoroughly after handling, take off contaminated clothing and clean before reuse
