Impurities / Additives: None unless specified by batch certificate
Other Components: No known significant non-hazardous ingredients

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove victim to fresh air, keep at rest, seek immediate medical attention
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash skin thoroughly with water and soap for at least 15 minutes, medical attention if symptoms persist
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes with running water for at least 15 minutes, hold eyelids apart, seek ophthalmological evaluation
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting, rinse mouth with water, provide fresh air, get immediate medical help
Acute Symptoms: Drowsiness, tremors, convulsions, hypotension, allergic reactions are possible and need urgent care

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry powder, CO2, foam, water spray according to surrounding materials
Special Hazards: Combustion produces hazardous fumes including carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrogen chloride, trifluoromethyl compounds
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, chemical suit, gloves, protective eyewear
Fire Fighting Instructions: Avoid smoke inhalation, use water spray to cool containers, do not release runoff into drains
Explosion Risk: No documented explosion risk but dust-air mixtures from fine powders may pose an ignition hazard in confined spaces

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear chemical protective clothing, respirator or mask, gloves, safety goggles
Spill Clean-Up: Avoid raising dust, use a disposable damp cloth or absorbent material, collect cleanup materials into a suitable waste disposal bag or bin
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, waterways, or soil to reduce ecological risk
Decontamination: Wash spill area thoroughly with water and mild detergent after removal of bulk powder

Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions: Use protective equipment, local exhaust ventilation, handle away from foodstuffs and drink
Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly after use and before eating or drinking
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly sealed, labeled container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizers
Special Storage Measures: Protect from light, moisture, and physical damage, avoid excessive temperature increases

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: Occupational exposure limits not established for this compound but treat as hazardous
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust ventilation during handling
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, lab coat or coveralls, safety glasses or goggles, NIOSH-approved respirator for dust
