General Advice: Move exposed individual to fresh air, remove contaminated clothing, seek immediate medical attention
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air, monitor breathing and provide oxygen as required, consult a doctor right away
Skin Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, remove contaminated clothing and shoes, seek medical attention for persistent irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing for a minimum of 15 minutes, get immediate medical attention
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth thoroughly, seek medical attention immediately, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Special Hazards: May emit hydrogen bromide, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and corrosive vapors when heated
Fire Fighting Instructions: Wear full protective gear including positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
Protective Measures: Cool containers exposed to fire with water spray, avoid inhalation of dangerous decomposition products
Explosion Hazard: Non-flammable, but reacts violently with water to produce corrosive fumes
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical splash goggles, gloves, respirator, and full protective clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe, contain run-off, avoid release into sewers and watercourses
Spill Cleanup Methods: Ventilate area, neutralize spills with sodium bicarbonate or lime, absorb residue with inert material such as sand or vermiculite, place in labeled container for disposal
Notification Procedures: Notify government or environmental authorities if release moves outside facility boundaries
Safe Handling: Use only in fume hood, avoid all bodily contact, never breathe vapors or allow skin contact, keep away from sources of ignition
Personal Protection: Wear impervious gloves, protective goggles, chemical apron, face shield as required
Safe Storage: Keep container tightly sealed in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, store away from water, alcohols, oxidizing agents, bases
Incompatible Materials: Strong bases, water, alcohols, oxidizers, moisture sensitive chemicals
