Inhalation: Move to fresh air immediately. Seek medical attention if breathing difficulty or coughing develops.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin thoroughly with soap and water. Receive medical evaluation for irritation or burns.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open. Receive ophthalmological assessment immediately.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get emergency medical attention as soon as possible.
Most Important Acute Symptoms: Shortness of breath, dizziness, severe eye pain, skin burns, nausea, possible signs of central nervous system depression.
Immediate Medical Attention Required: Yes, in any case of exposure or symptom development.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry sand, dry chemical powder. Do not use water, carbon dioxide, or foam.
Special Hazards: Explosive at elevated temperatures, risk of violent detonation.
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full face shield, flame-resistant suit, gloves, self-contained breathing apparatus.
Fire or Explosion Risk: Can detonate by shock, friction, heat, or static electricity. Evacuate if fire is near stored material.
Advice for Emergency Responders: Isolate area by 1,000 meters in all directions. Do not allow entry unless equipped and trained for chemical incidents.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, clear all untrained personnel, eliminate ignition sources, ventilate area.
Protective Equipment: Antistatic clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles or face shield, explosion-proof respiratory protection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering drains, surface water or soil. Alert authorities in case of large spills.
Containment Methods: Use non-sparking tools, cover with dry inert absorbent (vermiculite, sand, not sawdust). Do not sweep or use compressed air.
Cleanup Methods: Pick up and place in sealed explosion-resistant containers for disposal. Wash spill area with alkaline solution and lots of water.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Handle with extreme care. Do not subject to shock, friction, or static discharge. Use only in blast-protected facilities.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, face, and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling. Do not smoke, eat, or drink in areas of use.
Storage Conditions: Store in cool (<20°C), dry, well-ventilated, explosion-proof building with controlled access. Segregate from strong acids, strong bases, reducing agents, and combustibles. Use original containers.
Incompatible Materials: Acids, alkalis, oxidizers, reducing agents, combustible materials.
Container Requirements: Use antistatic containers with tight-fitting, conductive seals.
Engineering Controls: Local explosion-proof exhaust ventilation, blast-proof equipment. Continuous air monitoring.
Control Parameters: No established OSHA or ACGIH occupational exposure limits. Seek expert assessment due to acute toxicity.
Personal Protection: Antistatic chemical-resistant gloves, flame-resistant coveralls, explosion-rated goggles, face shield. Use NIOSH-approved respirator for handling powders or where airborne levels may exceed safe exposures.
Specific Hygiene Practices: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Shower after handling.
