Special Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, potassium oxides in confined fires
Fire Hazards: Material can generate dust which may slightly increase risk in enclosed spaces with ignition sources
Personal Precautions: Use protective gloves, goggles, and dust mask if handling large spills. Ventilate area to dissipate any dust clouds.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent significant discharge into drains, surface waters, and soil
Methods for Clean-Up: Sweep or scoop up product and transfer to suitable container for disposal or reuse. Wash residues with water
Handling: Minimize dust creation. Use in well-ventilated area. Wash hands after handling and before food contact
Storage: Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, away from incompatible substances like strong acids or oxidizers. Store at room temperature, away from moisture to preserve anhydrous state. Use original packaging to limit contamination
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for this compound
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation in dusty operations
Personal Protection: Wear safety glasses, gloves, and dust mask in bulk handling. Use lab coats or aprons if repeated contact is likely.
