Other Components: None identified as significant under typical use conditions
Inhalation: Move to fresh air, keep person calm, and seek medical aid if symptoms persist or worsen
Skin Contact: Immediately wash area with plenty of water and remove contaminated clothing; consult a healthcare provider if irritation appears
Eye Contact: Rinse with water for at least 15 minutes; obtain medical advice promptly if discomfort, redness, or swelling occurs
Ingestion: Rinse mouth thoroughly with water, do not induce vomiting, and consult a poison center or physician if significant quantity is swallowed
Most Important Symptoms: May include burning sensation, lacrimation, rash, or mild soreness
Notes for Medical Personnel: Treat symptomatically, monitor vital signs closely, and offer supportive care
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam to put out fire
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-powered water jets can spread chemical powders; avoid their use for direct spraying
Special Hazards: Combustion can produce toxic fumes like nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, hydrochloric acid, or phosgene
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full turnout gear
Advice for Responders: Contain firewater to avert chemical run-off; ventilate area following suppression of flames
Personal Precautions: Use gloves, safety goggles, and dust masks to minimize exposure
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from entering drains, surface water, or soil
Containment: Gather material with a suitable vacuum or damp cloth; avoid generating dust in air
Clean-Up Methods: Place in a closed, labeled container for disposal; ventilate space and clean residue with water and detergent
Reporting: Notify environmental authorities if spill endangers local water sources
Handling: Work in well-ventilated area, avoid breathing dust, and prevent contact with eyes or skin; wash hands thoroughly after use
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated location; protect from sunlight, moisture, and incompatible materials
Incompatibilities: Keep away from oxidizers, acids, alkalis, and moisture; avoid storing with food or animal feed
Hygienic Practices: Keep away from food, beverages, and animal feed; launder work clothes separately
Storage Class: Chemical storage, non-flammable solids
Engineering Controls: Employ local exhaust or general room ventilation to reduce airborne concentration
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limit, but keep exposures as low as reasonably achievable
Personal Protection: Wear nitrile gloves, chemical-resistant goggles, and laboratory coat
Respiratory Protection: Use P2/P3 mask in case of insufficient ventilation or high dust concentrations
Skin Protection: Cover exposed areas with lab coats, closed shoes, and long sleeves
Hygienic Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before meals or breaks
Environmental Controls: Ensure discharge does not reach natural water sources
