First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air, provide oxygen if breathing is difficult, seek medical help for persistent symptoms
Skin Contact: Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and plenty of water, remove contaminated clothing, seek medical attention if irritation persists
Eye Contact: Flush eyes immediately with large quantities of water for at least 15 minutes, lift upper and lower eyelid occasionally, seek immediate medical advice
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, give water to dilute if person is conscious, seek medical assistance without delay
Most Important Symptoms: Burning or redness of skin, tearing or pain in eyes, sore throat if inhaled or ingested

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: CO2, dry chemical powder, foam, or water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct water stream on product may spread powder or dust
Specific Hazards: May form toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides under combustion
Special Protective Equipment: Firefighters require self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye exposure
Other Advice: Avoid inhaling combustion vapors, keep containers cool with water spray to prevent rupture, control run-off from fire to prevent environmental contamination

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves and goggles, ensure adequate ventilation, avoid contact with skin and eyes, do not breathe dust
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from reaching drains or water bodies, contain spill with inert absorbent materials
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up carefully, avoid raising dust, place in appropriate labeled waste container for proper disposal, wash spill area with water and detergent
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate area if large spill occurs, isolate hazard area, notify appropriate authorities

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Handle in a well-ventilated space, wear personal protective equipment, avoid generating dust, wash hands after use
Hygiene Practices: Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where this material is handled, ensure eyewash stations and showers are accessible
