Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; Seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms occur such as coughing, dizziness, or difficulty breathing
Skin Contact: Wash exposed area with plenty of water and soap; Remove contaminated clothing; If irritation develops, consult medical personnel
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes holding eyelids apart; Seek medical help, especially if irritation persists or vision changes
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; Do not induce vomiting; Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious individual; Seek medical advice immediately
Immediate Attention: Necessary for persistent symptoms or exposure to large quantities; Call poison control center for further instructions
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam for small fires; Larger fires require water spray or fog
Hazardous Combustion Products: Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, other unknown toxic fumes possible depending on conditions
Fire Hazards: Vapors may ignite readily; Containers may rupture explosively when heated
Precautions for Firefighters: Wear full protective gear including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA); Cool surroundings with water spray to prevent pressure build-up
Specific Firefighting Techniques: Move containers from fire area if possible without risk; Avoid inhaling combustion gases
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel; Wear protective equipment; Ventilate area
Methods for Containment: Confine spill and absorb with inert material such as sand, earth, or vermiculite; Collect for proper disposal in suitable labeled containers
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface and groundwater; Advise authorities if spills enter the environment
Clean-up Methods: Use non-sparking tools; Avoid dust, fumes and vapor inhalation; Wash area thoroughly after material removal; Dispose waste as regulated
Handling: Keep away from sources of ignition; Avoid breathing vapors or mist; Use only in areas with adequate ventilation; Prevent skin or eye contact; Ground and bond containers during transfer
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers; Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from oxidizing agents, strong acids, and ignition sources; Protect from moisture; Ensure secure labeling and secondary containment
Incompatibility: Avoid contact with acids, halogens, oxidizers
Occupational Exposure Limits: No official values available; Recommend minimizing exposure to lowest feasible levels
