Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water; remove contaminated clothing.
Eye Contact: Rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes. Seek medical attention for persistent irritation.
Inhalation: Move affected individual to fresh air; obtain medical attention if symptoms persist.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth; drink water for dilution if large amounts swallowed. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, CO2, dry chemical, or foam according to equipment availability and fire scenario.
Specific Hazards: Can emit hazardous fumes such as carbon oxides upon burning; combustible at high temperatures.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use full protective gear, including breathing apparatus, due to possible emission of irritating vapors.
Special Procedures: Prevent runoff into drains, dike firewater for later disposal.
Personal Precautions: Use adequate protective gloves and eyewear to prevent skin and eye contact; avoid direct inhalation of vapors or dust.
Environmental Precautions: Do not allow material to enter sewers or natural watercourses.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Absorb with inert material (sand, diatomaceous earth); sweep or scoop up and store in labeled container for proper disposal; clean area to mitigate slip hazards.
Handling: Minimize dust and aerosol generation; maintain good industrial hygiene practice; avoid direct skin and eye contact.
Storage: Store at temperatures below 30°C in a dry, well-ventilated place away from incompatible substances and sources of heat; keep container tightly closed and protected from light.
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents; strong acids and bases.
Control Parameters: No occupational exposure limits established by OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH.
Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate local or general ventilation, especially in processes generating mist or vapor.
Personal Protective Equipment: Protective gloves made from chemical-resistant materials; safety goggles or face shield when a risk of eye contact remains; respiratory protection if high concentrations of mist or dust become airborne.

Hazardous Reactions: Does not undergo hazardous polymerization.
Materials to Avoid: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, and alkalis.
Conditions to Avoid: Exposure to excessive heat, direct sunlight, and moisture.
Hazardous Decomposition Products: Can produce irritating or noxious vapors such as carbon oxides at elevated temperatures or during combustion.
Likely Routes of Exposure: Skin, eye, ingestion, inhalation of aerosol
Acute Toxicity: LD50 (oral, rat) > 7000 mg/kg; considered practically non-toxic at expected exposure levels.
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: Not known to cause harm, though minor irritation possible after repeated or prolonged contact.
Eye Damage/Irritation: May cause mild irritation.
Sensitization: Not recognized as a skin or respiratory sensitizer.
Genotoxicity/Carcinogenicity: No data linking to cancer; not considered mutagenic.
Reproductive Toxicity: No well-documented effects on fertility or developmental health at typical doses.
Aquatic Toxicity: Not expected to cause acute hazards to aquatic life based on low solubility and inert characteristics.
Persistence: Biodegradable under typical environmental conditions, breakdown products non-hazardous to biota.
Bioaccumulation: Low risk due to metabolism and breakdown in organisms.
Mobility in Soil: Binds to organic matter; negligible migration to groundwater.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of contents and container in accordance with local, regional, and national regulations; incinerate or landfill only if compliant with environmental agency guidelines.
Contaminated Packaging: Empty containers remain hazardous due to product residue; recommend cleaning, then recycling or disposal as hazardous waste.
