Specific Hazards: May produce toxic and corrosive gases such as hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and fluorinated compounds under fire conditions
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous fumes, cool containers exposed to flames with water, contain run-off to prevent entry into waterways
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate PPE including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, evacuate area for large spills
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, drains, or waterways, alert relevant authorities in case of environmental contamination
Methods for Clean-Up: Absorb liquid with inert material (diatomaceous earth, sand), place in a chemical waste container, ventilate area thoroughly
Small Spill: Wipe up with absorbent material, dispose appropriately
Large Spill: Dike area, collect with shovel or non-sparking tools, transfer to labeled containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash and ventilate contaminated surface to remove residue
Handling: Use chemical-resistant gloves and splash-proof eye protection, manipulate in well-ventilated spaces, avoid generating dust, minimize aerosol formation, prevent contact with skin, eyes, and clothing
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly closed, corrosion-resistant containers away from incompatible substances, keep container upright in a cool, dry, and dark place
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents, materials that react with strong fluorinating agents
Special Precautions: Use only non-sparking tools, keep packaging intact and clearly labeled, store away from food and feedstuffs
Temperature Limits: Maintain storage at ambient temperature, keep away from sources of heat and ignition
Control Parameters: No specific occupational exposure limits set for this compound, minimize exposure as a best practice
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation and fume hoods for handling bulk quantities, maintain air concentration levels as low as possible
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), closed shoes, lab coat or chemical apron, safety goggles, face shield for splash risk
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirators if engineering controls are insufficient, select filters for organics and particulates
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin before eating, drinking, or smoking, do not take contaminated clothing home, clean PPE regularly
Environmental Exposure Controls: Prevent release to aquatic and terrestrial environments, use containment procedures for storage and waste
