Products of Combustion: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, other unidentified organic compounds
Protective Equipment: Full turnout gear, self-contained breathing apparatus; prevent skin and respiratory exposure
Fire-Fighting Instructions: Withdraw to a safe distance in case of large fire; cool closed containers with water mist; avoid exposure to decomposition vapors
Personal Precautions: Wear recommended personal protective equipment; evacuate unnecessary personnel; ensure adequate ventilation to disperse vapors and dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water, and soil; inform authorities in cases of large spillage
Methods for Cleanup: Remove all ignition sources; collect spills with non-combustible absorbents (vermiculite, sand, diatomaceous earth); place in tightly closed, labeled containers for disposal; clean residues with water while avoiding splashing
Handling Spilled Material: Prevent powdered material from becoming airborne; isolate area until cleanup is completed; disposal of recovered material must comply with local regulations
Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas; avoid skin or eye contact and inhalation of dust/fumes; ground handling equipment; keep away from reactive or combustible substances; use anti-static tools
Storage Conditions: Store in original, tightly closed containers; segregate from foodstuff, reducing agents, acids, bases, flammable, and organic materials; keep in cool, dry, well-ventilated places; recommended storage temperature ranges from 2°C to 8°C or per manufacturer's instructions
