General Advice: Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or in the event of prolonged exposure
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air, monitor for respiratory symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath, get medical advice if symptoms develop
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash affected skin areas with soap and water, seek medical advice for persistent irritation or discomfort
Eye Contact: Rinse out eyes with plenty of water for several minutes, keeping eyelids open; consult a healthcare professional if irritation or visual disturbances continue
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention if large amounts were swallowed or if symptoms present
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Avoid using a strong water jet as it may spread the material
Specific Hazards: Combustion generates carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, possibly irritating fumes
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Special Procedures: Keep containers cool by spraying with water, prevent runoff from entering watercourses
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, protective eyewear, and respiratory protection if dust or fumes are generated
Methods for Cleaning Up: Collect solid or soak up liquid with inert absorbent (sand, earth), transfer to a suitable container for disposal; ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup has been completed
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so, avoid discharge into drains or water sources
Handling: Use only in a well-ventilated area, avoid formation of dusts or aerosols, apply routine hygiene measures, handle with care using straight-forward good laboratory practices
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original container, keep out of direct sunlight at room temperature or below, avoid moisture ingress, segregate from incompatible materials such as oxidizers and strong acids
Incompatibility: Keep away from oxidizing agents, strong acids, and bases
Special Packaging: Use only chemical-resistant, sealed containers; avoid glass breakages by secondary containment
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering measures to minimize airborne exposure; provide eyewash stations and safety showers
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for this chemical
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, latex), safety goggles, lab coat; in case of dust or inadequate ventilation, use approved respirator
General Hygiene: Do not eat, drink, or smoke when handling chemical; wash hands thoroughly after use
