Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or appropriate foam
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus, and wear protective clothing resistant to chemicals
Hazards from Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions including nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide
Advice: Avoid inhaling combustion gases; remain upwind if possible

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Don laboratory gloves, lab coat, suitable eye protection; avoid dust formation
Methods for Cleaning Up: Carefully sweep or scoop up; transfer to a chemically resistant container; prevent material from entering water systems
Environmental Precautions: Prevent run-off into drains or open water; inform relevant authorities if contamination occurs
Spill Management: Wash contaminated area with water and mild detergent after material is removed
Additional Precautions: Ventilate area thoroughly before resuming regular activities

Handling and Storage

Handling: Work in well-ventilated areas; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; handle with care to prevent spillage
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed container; keep in dry, cool, well-ventilated area; avoid direct sunlight and humidity
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Special Storage: Keep separate from food, beverages, and incompatible materials

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits set by OSHA, NIOSH, or ACGIH
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood, local exhaust ventilation system where appropriate
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, lab coat, use respiratory protection if powder or dust is present
Hygiene Measures: Remove contaminated clothing; wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling; avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in areas where material is used
