Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a direct jet of water on substance fires as it may spread the material
Fire Hazards: Thiamine Nitrate can decompose on heating to release toxic fumes like nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear
Special Procedures: Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to disperse vapors, prevent runoff from entering water sources
Personal Precautions: Avoid inhalation of dust, contact with skin or eyes; wear suitable protective clothing including gloves and eye/face protection
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from entering drains, waterways, or soil
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep up and place in suitable containers for disposal, avoid generating dust, ventilate area, thoroughly wash spill area with plenty of water
Decontamination: Clean contaminated surfaces with detergent and water, observe waste disposal protocols
Handling: Operate in a well-ventilated area, avoid dust formation, do not eat, drink, or smoke near product, avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing
Hygienic Practices: Wash hands after handling, change contaminated clothing, use clean protective gear daily
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original container, keep away from moisture, excessive heat and incompatible substances
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, reducing agents, strong acids and bases, moisture
Storage Temperature: Room temperature (15–25°C), avoid freezing or overheating
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne levels low
Personal Protection: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, latex), safety goggles or face shield, appropriate respiratory protection if dust clouds develop
