Most Important Symptoms/Effects: Irritation of skin, eyes, mucosal tissues, central nervous system effects at higher doses
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, water spray, foam (avoid using high–volume water jets to prevent chemical dispersion)
Special Hazards Arising from Substance: Combustion produces toxic fumes including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, possible irritant gases
Advice for Firefighters: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, prevent run-off to sewer, stay upwind of fire site
Fire and Explosion Data: Material has moderate combustibility, avoid dust buildup, ensure area is well ventilated
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unprotected personnel, ensure proper ventilation, avoid breathing dust
Protective Equipment: Wear nitrile gloves, lab coat, eye protection, dust mask or respirator with appropriate filter cartridge
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe, keep out of drains, soil, and waterways
Cleanup Methods: Collect solid or powder using non-sparking tools, sweep and place in compatible waste container, wash area with soap and water, dispose according to regulations
Disposal of Contaminated Material: Bag waste in designated hazardous bags, label appropriately, coordinate with chemical waste facility
Safe Handling Practices: Work in designated chemical fume hood, avoid dust generation and inhalation, handle away from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, acids)
Personal Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly after every procedure, refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking near work area
Storage Requirements: Store in tightly sealed container, cool dry place, away from light and sources of ignition, segregate in chemical-resistant secondary containment
Special Storage Concerns: Monitor humidity, avoid long-term exposure to atmospheric conditions, check periodically for container integrity
