Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water streams can spread the substance
Specific Stresses: Decomposes under fire conditions producing toxic gases including nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide
Protective Equipment: Full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus should be used
Fire Hazards: Dust may form explosive mixtures with air if handled improperly
Personal Precautions: Wear protective clothing, gloves, and safety goggles during cleanup
Environmental Precautions: Prevent the material from entering drains, surface or groundwater
Containment: Sweep up cautiously to prevent dust formation, ventilate area
Cleaning Up: Place waste in sealable container for disposal, wash surfaces with water and detergent
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate non-essential personnel, restrict access to spill site
Handling: Work under chemical fume hood, avoid inhaling dust, direct contact with skin and eyes, practice good hygiene after use
