Most Important Symptoms: Burning, irritation, coughing, stomach pain, headache, allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High pressure water streams, avoid direct water jet on burning product
Special Hazards: Thermal decomposition releases irritating fumes, carbon monoxide, sodium oxides, toxic gases
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus, fire-resistant clothing, protective gloves and boots
Firefighting Instructions: Cool exposed containers with water spray, avoid inhalation of fumes, keep people away from danger zone, evacuate surrounding areas if needed
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, wear protective gloves, goggles, dust mask, avoid breathing dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, groundwater, or water courses, contain spillage and collect waste for proper disposal
Methods for Cleaning Up: Sweep or vacuum without creating dust, place in closed container for disposal, ventilate area, wash site after pickup
Precautions for Safe Handling: Wear suitable protective clothes, avoid breathing dust, keep containers tightly closed, use exhaust ventilation, handle with care to prevent spillage
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, segregate from acids and oxidizing agents, keep in original container, clearly labeled
Storage Incompatibilities: Acids, strong oxidizers, moisture-sensitive materials, food and feedstuffs
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits established, follow local regulations or general dust limits
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation or general area ventilation required for dust control, use enclosed process equipment where possible
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical resistant gloves, lab coat, dust mask or particulate respirator for airborne dust
