Most Important Symptoms and Effects: Redness, pain or irritation in eyes and on skin, coughing, difficulty breathing from dust exposure
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water mist, foam
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water jet may cause spattering
Hazards from Combustion: Produces toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides and carbon oxides during fire
Protective Equipment: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear in enclosed spaces
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water spray; move containers away from fire if safe
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and suitable respiratory protection
Environmental Precautions: Prevent run-off into drains, surface water, and soil
Methods for Containment and Clean Up: Avoid dust formation, sweep up and shovel material into a chemical waste container, use appropriate tools to minimize dust, ventilate area, wash spill site after material pickup is complete
Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas, avoid generation of dust, avoid direct contact with skin and eyes, use appropriate PPE, do not eat, drink, or smoke when using this chemical, wash thoroughly after handling
Storage: Store in a tightly closed, labeled container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers and acids, protect from moisture and direct sunlight, keep away from food and beverages
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or work in a chemical fume hood to minimize airborne concentrations
Personal Protection: Wear chemical safety goggles, lab coat, chemical-resistant gloves; use a dust mask or respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or dust formation is possible
Hygiene Measures: Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse; maintain good housekeeping to prevent buildup; do not touch face or eyes during use
