Special Hazards: Product will decompose at high temperature to release toxic fumes, including sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen fluoride, and carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Specific Fire-Fighting Procedures: Avoid inhaling vapors produced during combustion; contain run-off water; remove containers from fire area if it can be done without risk
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected personnel, ventilate area; wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and impervious clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, drains, or water courses. Notify relevant authorities if large quantities enter environment
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with inert absorbent (e.g., vermiculite, sand). Collect material and place into suitable, sealable containers for disposal. Wash area with water and detergent; ventilate site
Decontamination: Scrub spill area with detergent and flush with water; collect and dispose of contaminated water appropriately
Handling: Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapors or dust. Do not get on skin, eyes, or clothing. Wear appropriate personal protective gear. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Storage: Store at room temperature in tightly sealed original packaging. Keep away from direct sunlight, water, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers. Use corrosion-resistant shelving or cabinets.
Packaging Materials: Store in glass, polyethylene, or other chemical-resistant containers
Special Precautions: Segregate from incompatible materials; label all containers clearly
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limit established for this compound
