Most Important Symptoms: Burning sensation, redness, itching, pain, respiratory tract irritation
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Take care to prevent runoff that may pollute waterways.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a direct stream of water, which can spread fire.
Special Hazards: Produces toxic gases such as hydrogen chloride and carbon oxides when burning.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Advice for Firefighters: Remove containers from fire area if safe. Cool containers with water to prevent rupture. Avoid inhalation of combustion products. Prevent water used to fight fire from entering sewers and waterways.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate area, avoid contact with skin and eyes, wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, and eye protection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains, waterways, or soil.
Methods for Containment: Dike and contain spill with inert absorbent material such as sand, earth, or vermiculite.
Clean-up Procedures: Collect spilled material in appropriate, labelled containers for disposal. Wash contaminated area with detergent and water.
Disposal: Dispose of collected waste in accordance with local, regional, national, and international regulations.
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not breathe vapors or dust. Use only in well-ventilated areas or chemical fume hood. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Handle away from sources of ignition and incompatible materials.
Storage: Store in tightly closed, properly labelled containers. Keep at ambient or cool temperature. Protect from heat, sparks, and direct sunlight. Store away from oxidizers, acids, and bases.
Exposure Limits: No specific data established; use lowest achievable exposure.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, laboratory fume hood, or appropriate engineering controls to minimize exposure.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or rubber), safety glasses with side shields or goggles, lab coats or chemical-resistant clothing, suitable respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, forearms, and face before eating, smoking, or using the restroom and after handling. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
