Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with clean, lukewarm water for at least 15 minutes, holding eyelids open; remove contact lenses if present and easy to do so; pursue medical advice if discomfort persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, never induce vomiting unless instructed by medical personnel; do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person; seek immediate medical attention if larger amounts swallowed or symptoms develop
General Notes: Always provide this safety data sheet to medical staff; monitor vital signs and basic support while awaiting help
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, carbon dioxide (CO2), dry chemical powder, foam
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Strong water jet; may spread contamination
Special Hazards Arising: May produce irritating or toxic fumes (nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide) on combustion; risk to firefighters from inhaling combustion products
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective gear including self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA); chemical protective clothing and gloves
Precautions: Move containers away from fire area if safely possible; avoid runoff contaminated water; keep unprotected persons away from the area
Personal Protection: Wear appropriate lab coat, chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and, where dust or aerosol may be generated, a respirator
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unprotected personnel from the spill area; ventilate the area adequately
Containment Methods: Avoid dust formation; prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so; block drains to prevent environmental entry
Cleanup Methods: Collect solid material mechanically using non-sparking tools; for spills, absorb with inert material such as sand or vermiculite and transfer to a chemical waste container; wash spill area with water and detergent; collect washings for disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further spillage and entry into waterways or soil; contact local environmental authorities if significant release occurs
Handling: Always handle in well-ventilated laboratory settings or fume hoods; minimize dust and aerosol generation; avoid all forms of ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact; never use mouth for pipetting; keep containers tightly closed when not in use; practice good hygiene, such as washing hands after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly sealed, clearly labeled container away from incompatible materials; preferred temperature 2-8°C, protected from light, excessive moisture, and physical damage
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents; risk of violent reaction with these chemicals
Storage Area Requirements: Dry, cool, and properly ventilated area; secure to prevent unauthorized access
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established national limits for this substance; use workplace controls as for compounds of similar toxicity
Engineering Controls: Use fume hoods, local exhaust, and mechanical ventilation to keep airborne levels below nuisance thresholds
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), lab coat, safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles; for dusty work, use NIOSH/MSHA approved dust respirator
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working with this material; wash hands, face, and any exposed skin thoroughly after handling
Exposure Monitoring: Implement regular air monitoring in working environment, especially during procedures involving powder or aerosol
