Molecular Weight: 251.28 g/mol
Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air as a priority; if symptoms persist, medical attention advised
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately, rinse skin thoroughly with soap and water; prolonged irritation call for doctor consultation
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids open; persistent irritation prompts examination by a medical professional
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical staff; seek medical help if large quantity ingested
Acute Symptoms: No severe toxic effects anticipated in minor exposure cases; larger exposures require assessment for allergic reaction or gastrointestinal distress
Note for Physicians: Symptomatic and supportive care recommended; no specific antidote
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, CO2, and water spray effective; avoid using high-pressure streams that may disperse dust
Specific Hazards: Product decomposes under intense heat producing carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, and potentially irritating vapors
Precautions for Firefighters: Wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent inhalation of hazardous decomposition gases
Explosion Risk: Not classified as flammable or explosive, though fine dust can present ignition risk in confined spaces
Thermal Decomposition: Produces hazardous and noxious gases; ensure proper ventilation after extinguishing a fire
Personal Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and respiratory protection to prevent direct contact and dust inhalation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering surface water drains; notify local environmental authorities if large contamination occurs
Cleanup Procedures: Collect spillage using a method that minimizes dust generation (e.g., damp sweeping, vacuuming with HEPA filter); dispose in accordance with local regulations
Decontamination: Clean area thoroughly using water and detergent after initial dry cleanup
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate immediate area if airborne dust concentrations develop, especially in confined or poorly ventilated areas
Handling: Maintain good industrial hygiene; avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes; wash hands thoroughly after handling; use in well-ventilated areas
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals such as strong strong acids, bases or oxidizers
Temperature Sensitivity: Stable under normal room temperature and humidity ranges; avoid excessive heat
Special Requirements: Keep away from food, drink, and animal feeding areas; label containers properly for identification and hazard awareness
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents and bases may promote degradation or hazardous reactions
Exposure Limits: No specific workplace exposure limits defined; handle as nuisance particulate in absence of data
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation to control airborne dust; ensure general area ventilation meets workplace standards
Personal Protective Equipment: Use chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, dust mask or respirator if airborne dust is present
Hygiene Measures: Prohibit eating, drinking, or smoking in handling area; wash thoroughly after operations
Environmental Controls: Prevent material from reaching drains or waterways by enforcing appropriate workplace controls
