First Aid Measures

General Advice: Move affected person to fresh air, get immediate medical attention if feeling unwell, show this safety data sheet to emergency responders
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with soap and water, get medical attention if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Rinse carefully with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy, seek medical attention promptly
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, call a physician or poison center right away

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, or carbon dioxide, water spray only to cool containers, not for direct extinguishing
Specific Hazards: Contact with water may produce corrosive vapors, thermal decomposition yields toxic and corrosive fumes such as hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides
Firefighting Instructions: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing, move containers from area if it can be done safely, prevent runoff from entering drains
Special Protective Equipment: Full protective gear, positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear chemical resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, avoid breathing dust or vapor, evacuate unnecessary personnel
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, groundwater or waterways, notify authorities if significant spillage occurs
Methods for Cleanup: Absorb on inert material such as sand or vermiculite, collect into suitable containers for disposal, ventilate the area, decontaminate spill site with detergent and water
Disposal of Collected Material: Dispose in compliance with all federal, state, and local regulations

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated area, handle with dry, clean tools, minimize dust generation, avoid skin and eye contact, wash hands after use, never eat, drink, or smoke during handling
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original containers, keep in cool, dry place, protect from moisture, incompatible with strong acids and oxidizers, keep away from heat sources, electrical sparks, and open flames
Storage Temperature: Recommended storage at 2–8°C, not to be frozen

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits specific to this compound
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust ventilation, maintain eye wash stations and safety showers in proximity
