First Aid Measures

General Advice: Move affected person to fresh air; consult a physician immediately; provide this MSDS to medical staff
Inhalation: Remove person from exposure site; keep at rest in comfortable position for breathing; seek immediate medical attention
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately and wash affected area with soap and water for at least 15 minutes; seek prompt medical advice
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally; do not rub eyes; seek prompt medical attention
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth thoroughly with water; seek immediate medical attention
Most Important Symptoms: May cause burning sensation, respiratory difficulties, gastrointestinal distress, skin blistering
Indication for Immediate Medical Attention: If exposed or concerned, consult toxicology center

Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide (CO2), or alcohol-resistant foam; water may spread the fire
Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrogen bromide, carbon oxides
Specific Fire Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air; containers may explode if heated
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Approach from upwind; use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers; avoid breathing combustion gases

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area; ventilate; avoid breathing vapors; use personal protective equipment including respirator, gloves, and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe; do not allow product to enter drains or waterways
Methods for Cleaning Up: Absorb spills with inert material (vermiculite, dry sand); place in chemical waste container; clean spill area thoroughly with water and detergent
Small Spill: Use absorbent material; avoid skin contact
Large Spill: Contain spill, call emergency response, dispose of according to local regulations

Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions: Use chemical fume hood; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; refrain from inhaling vapors or mist; keep away from incompatible materials
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling; prohibit food and drink in work area
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed container; keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place; protect from light and moisture
Incompatible Materials: Strong bases, strong oxidizers, strong reducing agents, amines
Packaging Materials: Use corrosion-resistant materials for containers

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established OSHA/ACGIH limits; treat as potentially hazardous
Engineering Controls: Use appropriate exhaust ventilation, safety showers, eyewash stations; maintain negative pressure in chemical storage
Personal Protection:

  • Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH-approved respirator for organic vapors
  • Skin Protection: Wear nitrile rubber or neoprene gloves, chemical-resistant clothing
  • Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles or face shield
Environmental Controls: Prevent release to environment; use containment bunds
