General Advice: Move affected person away from exposure source and call for immediate medical attention
Inhalation: Bring person to fresh air, ensure airway is clear, monitor breathing, seek prompt medical attention
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash area thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes, consult a physician
Eye Contact: Rinse with plenty of water for several minutes lifting eyelids occasionally, seek immediate medical attention
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth, give water to dilute, consult a physician immediately
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Water jet (may spread fire)
Special Hazards: Vapors may ignite explosively, toxic nitrogen oxide gases may form under fire conditions
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus
Specific Methods: Move containers away from fire area if safe, use water spray to cool unopened containers, prevent runoff from entering drains or watercourses
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, use appropriate respiratory protection
Environmental Precautions: Prevent leakage or spillage into groundwater, surface water, or soil, notify authorities if large spill occurs
Containment and Cleaning: Absorb spillage with inert material (sand or earth), place in chemical waste container, ventilate area thoroughly after cleanup
Handling: Work in well-ventilated spaces, avoid inhalation and contact with skin or eyes, use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment
Storage: Keep containers tightly closed and in a dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition, segregate from strong acids and oxidizers, store at moderate temperatures, protect from direct sunlight
Precautions: Ground/bond container and receiving equipment, avoid static discharge
Occupational Exposure Limits: Consult local, national, or industrial hygiene regulations for current limits (none established by OSHA or ACGIH as of date)
Engineering Controls: Handle chemical in mechanical exhaust-ventilated areas, use closed processes if possible
Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (butyl rubber or nitrile recommended), tight-fitting safety goggles, face shield, flame-retardant clothing, approved respirator where ventilation inadequate
Hygiene: Wash hands and face after use, remove contaminated clothing immediately, do not eat/drink/smoke while using chemical, keep eyewash stations and safety showers immediately accessible
