First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air. Monitor for breathing difficulty, apply oxygen if needed. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, rinse affected skin under running water for at least fifteen minutes. Use soap if available.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for several minutes, holding eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Seek immediate medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth thoroughly with water. Give water to drink if conscious. Call poison control or physician.
Important Symptoms: Burning sensation, coughing, shortness of breath, stomach pain, nausea, severe eye pain.
Advice for First Responders: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and personal protective equipment as needed.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam. Use copious amounts of water.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide. Avoid using these as substance supports combustion.
Specific Hazards Arising: Thermal decomposition produces toxic gases including nitrogen oxides, methylamine.
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus for all firefighting operations.
Special Precautions: Cool containers exposed to flames with water spray from a safe distance. Avoid water run-off into sewers.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ensure good ventilation. Remove ignition sources and wear protective clothing including gloves, goggles, and mask.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from entering drains or waterways. Isolate from incompatible materials.
Clean-up Methods: Absorb spill with non-combustible material such as sand or earth. Sweep up and place into chemical waste container. Rinse area with water.
Disposal of Clean-up Materials: Dispose according to local, state, and federal regulations. Do not release into the environment.

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas, avoid inhaling dust or vapors. Do not eat, drink, or smoke when handling.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after use. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Storage Conditions: Store cool, dry, and well-ventilated. Keep container tightly closed and away from heat, sunlight, and ignition sources.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, reducing agents, combustible substances, organic materials, bases.
Recommended Packaging: Store in original containers clearly labeled and resistant to corrosion.
Special Requirements: Segregate from food and feedstuffs.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for Methylamine Nitrate. NIOSH recommends controlling airborne levels as low as possible.
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood, mechanical exhaust, or local ventilation.
Personal Protective Equipment: Eye protection (goggles or face shield), gloves (nitrile or neoprene), lab coat or chemical apron, respirator (NIOSH approved for dusts or vapors) when airborne concentrations exceed limits.
Environmental Controls: Prevent product from entering drains or watercourses. Use containment to limit release.
