Inhalation: Move the person into fresh air, keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing; seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately, wash skin gently with plenty of water and soap for several minutes; seek medical attention for irritation
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing; consult an eye specialist
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, call medical emergency services for advice
Symptoms to Observe: Burning sensation, coughing, headache, nausea, eye redness and swelling, skin dermatitis
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray (avoid powerful jet)
Unsuitable Media: Do not use high-volume water jets directly on burning product
Special Hazards: Decomposition can produce toxic fumes including HCl, nitrogen oxides, and carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing and respirators, self-contained breathing apparatus
Firefighting Advice: Cool containers exposed to flames with water spray, avoid inhalation of smoke or combustion products, evacuate area if necessary; prevent runoff from contaminating waterways
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate, wear protective respiratory equipment, gloves, and eye protection
Environmental Precautions: Avoid release to larger quantities in drains, soil, and surface water systems; report significant spills
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spillage with inert material such as sand or earth, transfer carefully into sealed container for disposal, wash spill site thoroughly after initial cleaning
Decontamination: Wash all equipment and surfaces with soap and water; collect used cleaning materials as hazardous waste
Additional Caution: Restrict access to spill site until clean-up is verified complete; dispose of contaminated clothing as hazardous waste
Handling: Use in fume hood or well-ventilated location, avoid breathing vapors, minimize direct contact, handle with chemical-resistant gloves and goggles, keep away from ignition sources and incompatible substances
Storage Requirements: Store in a tightly closed, properly labeled container; keep in a cool, dry, secure, well-ventilated facility; avoid extremes of heat or moisture
Incompatibilities: Store away from strong acids, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents, and reducing agents
Other Precautions: Regularly check for container leaks or breakage; restrict access to authorized personnel only
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or chemical fume hood to keep airborne dust or vapor levels low
Personal Protective Equipment: Impermeable gloves (such as nitrile), chemical-resistant protective clothing, eye goggles with side shields, face shield for splash risk
Respiratory Protection: Use approved cartridge respirator if ventilation fails to control release; full-face respirator with organic vapor cartridge recommended for large-scale uses
