Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Special Hazards: Toxic gases including nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide can form during combustion
Protective Equipment: Firefighters must wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-resistant suits
Specific Actions: Remove containers from the fire zone if safe, cool surrounding containers, avoid inhaling fumes
Personal Protection: Use protective gloves, goggles, laboratory coat; avoid breathing dust
Spill Cleanup: Sweep up carefully to avoid dust creation, and transfer to a sealed waste container
Environmental Precautions: Prevent powder from entering drains, sewers, or waterways
Decontamination: Wash all surfaces with water and detergent after cleanup
Safe Handling: Handle in a well-ventilated area or chemical fume hood; minimize dust production
Hygiene Measures: Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking during handling; always wash hands after use
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly sealed containers, away from light, moisture, and incompatible chemicals like strong oxidizers
Temperature Recommendations: Keep at room temperature, do not freeze or expose to excessive heat
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits; reduce exposure to lowest possible
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hoods, local exhaust ventilation, and enclosed processes
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or rubber), safety goggles, lab coats; PPE must match workplace risk assessment
