Inhalation: Move to fresh air, seek medical attention if breathing becomes difficult or there is continued discomfort, avoid direct exposure to dust or vapors
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash thoroughly with ample soap and water, seek medical attention if irritation or allergic reactions persist
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes immediately with clean running water for at least 15 minutes, consult ophthalmologist if irritation develops or persists
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel, rinse mouth with water, seek medical assistance promptly taking care to explain exposure details
Notes for Physician: Treat based on symptoms, monitor for respiratory distress or allergic responses, symptomatic and supportive care only
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, water spray for larger fires
Unsuitable Media: Avoid high-pressure water streams to limit spread of chemical contamination
Hazardous Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes containing nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide if burned
Special Equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable chemical protective clothing
Fire Hazards: May decompose at high temperatures releasing hazardous gases, avoid inhalation of smoke and fumes
Advice for Firefighters: Approach area cautiously, contain firefighting runoff to prevent release into water sources, control ventilation
Personal Precautions: Evacuate surrounding area if spill occurs in a confined space, avoid inhalation or contact with skin and eyes, wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective suits
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, soil or drains, contain spill using absorbent materials such as sand or vermiculite
Methods for Clean Up: Small spills: Absorb using suitable inert material and transfer to chemical waste container for disposal, clean area thoroughly after collection
Disposal: Dispose contaminated material in line with regulatory requirements, label and seal waste containers before transport
Handling: Maintain adequate ventilation in workspaces, wear appropriate PPE (personal protective equipment), avoid breathing dust, vapors, or mist, avoid direct skin or eye contact, avoid sources of ignition, wash hands after handling
Storage: Keep container tightly sealed in a dry, well-ventilated area, store at room temperature away from direct sunlight, incompatible materials include strong oxidizing agents, acids, and bases, prevent moisture infiltration which may affect stability, store segregated from foodstuffs and incompatible chemicals
Packaging Materials: Use high-density polyethylene, glass, or stainless steel containers, do not use aluminum or copper
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for this substance, minimize exposure using general ventilation or fume hoods
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, general room ventilation, safety showers and eye wash stations in immediate work area
Personal Protection: Eye/Face: Chemical safety goggles, Face shield, Hand: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, Body: Flame-retardant protective lab coats, Respiratory: Dust/mist respirator or P2 filter if exposure risk is high
Hygiene: Do not eat, drink or smoke during use, wash hands and face before breaks and after handling; launder contaminated clothing before reuse
