Medical Attention: Symptom-based treatment, support vital functions, bring product label if seeking medical help.
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide. Water spray may be used for cooling exposed containers, not directly on fire itself.
Fire Hazards: Product decomposes at high temperatures, releasing hazardous gases such as hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need full protective clothing and independent breathing apparatus.
Special Procedures: Prevent fire-fighting run-off from entering water systems, isolate area of fire, use personal protective equipment.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area if large spill, avoid inhalation, wear gloves and goggles, ventilate area.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill or contaminated rinse water from entering waterways, soil, or drains.
Containment and Clean-up: Collect spilled substance using appropriate absorbent (e.g., sand, vermiculite), shovel into containers for proper disposal, wash area with water.
Notification: Report significant spills to local authorities as mandated by law.
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas. Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. No eating, drinking, or smoking during use, wash hands after handling.
Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials such as strong bases, acids, and oxidizers.
Incompatibilities: Do not mix with other chemicals unless confirmed safe by specialist advice. Keep product away from direct sunlight, moisture, and elevated temperatures.
Packaging: Store in original containers with correct labeling.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation if available, ensure eye wash stations and safety showers are accessible.
Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile), goggles, coveralls or lab coats, adequate respiratory protection if dust or mist may be generated.
