Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek immediate medical attention. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen, perform CPR if not breathing.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting unless instructed by a poison center. Consult physician without delay.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Get medical care.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes thoroughly with water for a minimum of 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. Call for medical assistance.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptoms and monitor for delayed respiratory, renal, or hepatic effects. Symptomatic and supportive care as indicated.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. Water spray may be used for cooling containers.
Unsuitable Media: Avoid direct water jets due to possible chemical reaction.
Specific Hazards: Emits toxic and corrosive fumes of hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, and possibly cyanide under thermal decomposition.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear full self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing.
Special Precautions: Remove containers from fire area if safe. Prevent firewater runoff from contaminating soil and waterways.
Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, potential cyanide compounds.
Personal Precautions: Don appropriate chemical splash goggles, gloves, and impervious clothing. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Cover mouth and nose with approved respirator.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from entering drains and open waterways. Notify authorities if substantial quantities escape.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Ventilate area well. Use inert absorbent (vermiculite, sand) to collect the spill. Sweep up and place in sealed chemical waste containers for disposal. Do not create dust. Wash residual area with copious water, avoiding direct discharge into environment.
Decontamination: Clean contaminated surfaces thoroughly with water and detergent.
Handling: Use in a closed system in well-ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed. Avoid inhaling vapors or dust. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in chemical use areas.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling. Regularly clean protective equipment.
Storage: Store in original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, acids, or alkalis. Protect from light and moisture. Secure area from unauthorized personnel.
Packaging Materials: Use corrosion-resistant, tightly sealed containers.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control exposures below occupational threshold limits if available.
Exposure Limits: No published OELs; minimize dust and vapor generation.
Personal Protection: Chemical splash goggles/face shield, chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile), lab coat or full chemical suit, approved respirator for airborne powder/vapor.
Special Protection: Facilities for eye-washing and safety showers must be accessible.
Environmental Controls: Maintain process enclosures, cover drains to prevent environmental release.
