Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Seek immediate medical help.
Most Important Symptoms/Effects: Redness, irritation, itching, or burning in eyes or on skin; coughing or respiratory discomfort if inhaled; nausea or gastrointestinal distress if ingested
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Substance: May produce irritating and toxic fumes under fire conditions, including hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide.
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear full protective gear including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Advice: Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors and decomposition products; control runoff from fire to prevent environmental contamination.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ensure adequate ventilation, avoid contact with skin and eyes, use recommended PPE.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage, do not allow material to enter drains, surface or ground water.
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material (sand, earth, diatomaceous earth), collect in suitable labeled container for disposal; decontaminate area with detergent and water.
Disposal: Dispose of recovered material in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations.
Handling: Work in well-ventilated area, avoid breathing vapors, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; use nitrile gloves, chemical goggles, and lab coats; never eat, drink, or smoke in work area; wash hands after handling.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers, acids, and bases.
Storage Temperature: Store at room temperature away from heat, sparks, or open flames; protect from moisture.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents and strong acids, as violent reactions may occur.
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood or local exhaust ventilation to control airborne concentrations.
Eye Protection: Safety goggles or face shield.
Skin Protection: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, laboratory apron or disposable gown.
Respiratory Protection: If ventilation is insufficient, use NIOSH-approved respirator with organic vapor/acid gas cartridge.
Hygiene Measures: Change contaminated clothing, wash hands and face before breaks and after handling, keep work area clean.
