Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses, NIOSH approved respirator
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into soil, waterways, sewers
Cleanup Methods: Scoop spilled material into suitable container, avoid raising dust, ventilate area, collect with non-sparking tools, wash area with plenty of water after cleanup, dispose as hazardous waste
Handling: Keep containers tightly closed, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, do not breathe dust, use inside fume hood for weighing or transfer tasks, do not eat or drink where chemical is handled
Storage: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture, bases, oxidizers, acids; segregate from incompatible materials; keep in original packaging, protect from light and static discharge
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limit in OSHA, ACGIH, NIOSH for this material
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, fume hood recommended
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves (nitrile or neoprene), chemical splash goggles, lab coat, respiratory protection if airborne concentrations exceed acceptable levels
