Ingestion: Rinse mouth; do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical professional. Seek immediate attention.
Symptoms and Effects: Eye irritation, skin redness or dryness, difficulty breathing after inhalation.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam depending on amount and location of fire
Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride gas, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear
Precautions: Move containers from area if safe to do so. Avoid breathing dust, fumes, or gases produced by fire.
Personal Precautions: Use chemical splash goggles, nitrile gloves, laboratory coat. Avoid breathing dust.
Containment Methods: Prevent material from entering drains or waterways. Sweep up carefully to minimize dust.
Cleanup Procedures: Collect with damp cloth or HEPA vacuum. Place in a suitable closed container for disposal.
Decontamination: Wash spill area with soap and water.
Safe Handling: Work in well-ventilated space, preferably with local exhaust. Use spark-proof tools. Avoid direct contact with powder.
Storage Conditions: Keep container tightly closed, in a dry and cool area. Store away from oxidizing agents, moisture, and sources of heat. Label shelves to avoid mix-up.
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, bases, reducing agents.
Other precautions: Clearly label storage container, maintain up-to-date inventory.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits known; handle as if irritating
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, laboratory fume hood recommended
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles or face shield if splashing might occur
Skin Protection: Nitrile or similar chemical-resistant gloves, closed lab coat
Respiratory Protection: Dust mask or respirator if airborne particles may occur
Hygiene: Do not eat, drink, or smoke near use. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
