Eye Contact: Rinse eyes cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing, call a medical professional if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, drink water if conscious, consult a medical professional right away
Notes to Doctor: Treat symptomatically based on clinical condition, product is low hazard but supportive treatment may be necessary in case of allergic reaction or persistent symptoms
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use direct water stream as it may spread burning material
Special Hazards: May decompose on heating to release irritating or toxic fumes such as carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers away from fire if safe, cool unopened containers by spraying with water, prevent fire water runoff from entering drains or watercourses
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust or contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, use proper protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and dust mask
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into sewers and waterways, inform authorities if product enters environment in large quantities
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep or shovel up spill carefully to minimize dust, place in appropriate closed container for disposal, wipe area with damp cloth to remove residue, ventilate area during cleanup
Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle with adequate ventilation, avoid creating dust, avoid contact with skin and eyes, wear protective gloves and goggles, wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in tightly closed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep away from heat, moisture, and incompatible substances such as strong oxidizing agents, label storage containers clearly
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust ventilation to minimize exposure, laboratory personnel only
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles to prevent eye contact, chemical resistant gloves for skin protection, lab coat or apron, dust mask or respirator if dust generation cannot be avoided
Hygiene Measures: Avoid eating, drinking, and smoking in work area, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the material, change contaminated clothing promptly
