Impurities: Possible trace hydrates, residual solvents, or excipients below 2%
Other Components: Usually none in pure standard; presence of added agents should appear in product-listed ingredients

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove exposed person to fresh air; seek medical attention for ongoing discomfort
Skin Contact: Wash area thoroughly with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; give small volumes of water if conscious; seek medical advice for large amounts or symptoms persisting
Note to Physician: Product considered of low acute toxicity; treat symptomatically

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, CO2, water spray, or foam
Specific Hazards: Product can form combustible dust clouds; in fire conditions may emit toxic fumes such as nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrochloric acid vapors
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Special Procedures: Contain fire water runoff, avoid breathing combustion gases

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid dust generation; ventilation advised; use appropriate respirator if dust generated
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage into water systems; contain loosened product
Clean Up Methods: Sweep up material, place in a dry, clean, labeled container; wash area with water, avoid creating airborne dust
Disposal: Follow regulations for hazardous and non-hazardous waste

Handling and Storage

Handling: Minimize dust formation; handle with care; use with adequate ventilation; avoid direct contact with eyes or skin
