Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, obtain medical attention especially for redness or irritation
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get immediate medical advice, provide medical personnel with MSDS
General Information: Keep victim warm and at rest, monitor vital signs, treat symptomatically
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray
Unsuitable Media: Do not use water jet directly on product to avoid spreading
Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, toxic fumes
Protective Equipment: Chemical resistant suit, self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighters
Special Hazards: Reacts with water or moisture generating corrosive gases, vapors may be heavier than air spreading around ground level
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical splash goggles, impervious gloves, protective clothing, respiratory protection if dust or fumes present
Evacuation: Evacuate non-essential personnel from affected area, ensure adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface waters, and soil
Methods for Clean-up: Absorb with inert material (sand, vermiculite), collect in labeled containers for disposal, wash spill site with soap and water after material pickup
Other Information: Dispose cleanup materials as hazardous waste following official regulations
Handling: Use only in chemical fume hood, keep away from heat, sparks, open flame, avoid skin and eye contact, wash hands thoroughly after use
Storage: Store in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry, ventilated area, protect from light, separate from strong bases, oxidizers, water, incompatible chemicals
Special Requirements: Use corrosion-resistant containers, keep segregated from food and drink, label storage area properly
Occupational Exposure Limits: No ACGIH or OSHA exposure limits published, keep exposure as low as reasonable
Engineering Controls: Use laboratory fume hoods, local exhaust, and emergency eyewash stations and safety showers
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), lab coats, chemical splash goggles, respiratory protection when ventilation is inadequate
Other Protective Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use, ensure good personal hygiene, remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse
