Clean-Up Procedures: Sweep up and collect spilled material in a clearly labeled container for disposal; clean area with water and detergent; ventilate affected area
Small Spills: Avoid dust formation; use minimal water for cleaning
Large Spills: Notify emergency response personnel; restrict access to affected area
Handling: Handle in well-ventilated workspace; avoid breathing dust, ingesting material, or skin and eye contact; assemble spill controls; practice good laboratory hygiene; keep containers tightly closed
Storage: Store in cool, dry location away from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, acids, bases); keep container tightly sealed; limit moisture and direct sunlight exposure; label and date containers upon receipt
Incompatible Materials: Strong bases, strong acids, oxidizing agents
Sensitive to Moisture: Yes, keep desiccated if possible
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limit established
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood or adequate local exhaust; employ splash guards and safety eyewash/shower nearby
Personal Protections: Wear laboratory gloves (nitrile or latex), chemical safety goggles, and protective clothing; use approved respirator under dust-generating conditions
Monitoring: Monitor airborne concentration if dust or aerosols form
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke during use; remove soiled clothing
Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder

Hazardous Decomposition: Nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrogen chloride, carbon oxides
Polymerization: No hazardous polymerization expected
Acute Toxicity: Low acute toxicity expected (no LD50 referenced for oral, dermal, or inhalation in animals); general irritation may occur above certain intake
Skin Contact: May cause mild to moderate skin irritation; repeated exposure could increase severity
Eye Contact: May cause redness, tearing, transient discomfort; risk increases with concentration
Inhalation: Dust may cause temporary respiratory irritation, coughing, or sore throat
Ingestion: May cause mild gastrointestinal irritation, such as nausea or upset stomach
