General Advice: Remove from exposure, keep patient calm, seek medical assistance
Inhalation: Move to fresh air without delay, support breathing if required, seek immediate medical attention
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical help if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing, consult an eye specialist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, do not induce vomiting, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, get medical help right away
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water mist if available
Specific Hazards: Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions, including oxides of nitrogen and carbon
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full personal protective equipment required for firefighters
Precautions: Evacuate personnel, prevent contamination of water sources, cool containers exposed to fire with water spray
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective gear including respiratory mask, protective goggles, gloves, chemical-resistant clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas
Cleanup Methods: Collect with inert absorbent material, sweep or scoop carefully, place in suitable container for disposal, ventilate affected area
Decontamination: Wash spill site thoroughly once cleanup finished, avoid dust formation
Handling: Handle in a fume hood to minimize inhalation risk, avoid generating dust, use only with adequate ventilation, avoid skin and eye contact, wash hands and face after handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed original container, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers, bases, acids, keep away from sources of ignition, protect from light and moisture
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits established, minimize exposure through best practices
Engineering Controls: Laboratory fume hood, local exhaust ventilation
Respiratory Protection: Approved respirator if available, use if exposure limits might be exceeded
Skin Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves such as nitrile, lab coat or protective clothing
Eye Protection: Safety goggles that meet ANSI standards or face shield
