Special Hazards: May produce hazardous fumes such as nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide during combustion
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Advice for Firefighters: Use caution, do not allow contaminated runoff to enter waterways, keep containers cool with water spray to prevent rupture.
Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, clothing, goggles, avoid skin and eye contact, ensure good ventilation or respiratory protection if needed
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, keep area well-ventilated, restrict access
Spill Cleanup: Absorb with inert material such as sand or earth, collect in suitable labeled containers for disposal, wash spill area with large volumes of water, prevent spill from entering drains or waterways
Environmental Precautions: Do not discharge into the environment or natural waters
Safe Handling: Utilize personal protective equipment, avoid skin and eye contact, avoid release to environment, prevent dust or mist formation
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed at 2-8°C in a dry, ventilated area, away from oxidizers, acids, or incompatible materials
Special Considerations: Keep container dry, labeled and securely closed. Isolate from food and drink.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizing agents
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established regulatory exposure limits; use general dust/mist control guidelines
Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate local exhaust ventilation at points of dust generation or mist formation
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, lab coats or aprons, respiratory protection for insufficient ventilation
