Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately. Seek urgent medical attention if symptoms like dizziness, coughing, or shortness of breath persist.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse skin thoroughly with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical help for irritation or burns.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, lifting eyelids to ensure thorough irrigation. Urgent medical aid required.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Give water if conscious. Contact a poison center or doctor right away.
Important Symptoms: Burning sensation, headache, shortness of breath, abdominal pain
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Specific Hazards: Emits toxic fumes containing hydrogen fluoride and nitrogen oxides when burning.
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters require self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Firefighting Advice: Avoid water runoff entering drains and watercourses. Cooling exposed containers with water spray helps reduce risk of thermal decomposition.
Combustion Products: Hydrogen fluoride, nitrogen oxides
Personal Precautions: Wear respirator, protective goggles, gloves, and body covering.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering sewers, waterways, or soil.
Cleanup Procedures: Ventilate area, use inert absorbent material (sand or vermiculite) to contain spill, carefully transfer to labelled waste container for disposal.
Decontamination: Wash spill area with detergent and water.
Emergency Measures: Evacuate unprotected personnel from area
Safe Handling: Employ proper ventilation, avoid breathing dust and fumes, keep away from food and beverages, use only in chemical fume hoods.
Storage Conditions: Keep container tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Separate from oxidizing agents or acids.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, bases, oxidizers
Packaging Materials: Store in tightly-sealed polyethylene or glass containers
Hygiene Requirements: Remove contaminated clothing, wash hands before breaks and at end of work
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended, safety showers and eyewash stations necessary in proximity.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits; minimize exposure as much as possible.
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirators for nuisance levels, or full-face respirators for higher concentrations.
Skin Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), lab coat or coveralls
Eye Protection: Tight-sealing goggles plus face shield
Other PPE: Avoid open-toed shoes, use protective boots if spill risk exists
