Advice for Physicians: Treat symptomatically, monitor vital signs, consider consultation with toxicology experts if large quantities involved
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, foam, water spray for larger fires
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Direct stream of water may spread chemical and cause runoff contamination
Specific Hazards: Product may decompose on burning to release toxic fumes including carbon oxides, nitrogen compounds, and unidentified organic vapors
Advice for Firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear, prevent runoff from entering water and drains, keep containers cool using water spray from safe distance
Explosion Hazard: Not considered explosive, no data for dust explosion hazard
Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with skin and eyes, use protective gloves, goggles, and suitable clothing, shut off all sources of ignition, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe, stop product from entering sewers, surface water, or soil, notify authorities in event of large scale spill
Clean Up Procedures: Absorb liquid on inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite), scoop up solid is possible, place in chemical waste container, clean contamination area with water and detergent, collect waste in sealed, labeled containers for disposal
Decontamination: Wash contacted surfaces thoroughly after cleanup, dispose cleanup materials by regulatory guidelines
Handling: Use only in well ventilated areas or with local exhaust, keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers or acids, avoid breathing dusts or vapors, use protective equipment, wash hands thoroughly after handling, do not eat or drink near work area, use care to prevent spills and minimize dust
Storage: Store in tightly closed original container, in a cool dry place away from sunlight, separate from food and incompatible materials, secure containers upright to prevent leaks, label storage shelves with hazardous warning, restrict access to trained personnel, keep away from fire or heat sources
Incompatible Materials: Oxidizing agents, strong acids
Engineering Controls: Mechanical general and local exhaust ventilation recommended, use fume hood for laboratory handling, maintain air concentrations below possible exposure threshold
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical safety goggles, lab coat or apron, gloves resistant to chemicals (nitrile, neoprene or similar), respiratory protection in poorly ventilated areas or if dust/vapors form (NIOSH approved respirator if needed), closed-toed shoes, no jewelry or accessories which trap dust
