Special Hazards: In case of fire, may release carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, sodium oxides, and phosphorous oxides
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Additional Advice: Contain runoff with barriers to avoid environmental release.
Personal Precautions: Avoid creating dust, ventilate area well, use personal protective equipment including gloves and goggles
Environmental Precautions: Prevent bulk quantities from entering water or drains
Spill Cleanup: Sweep up material and place into appropriate waste container, avoid raising dust, clean area with water after removal of material
Disposal: Dispose collected waste according to local, regional, and national regulations, do not flush large quantities to sewer.
Handling: Handle in a dry, well-ventilated area, minimize dust generation, avoid contact with eyes and prolonged skin exposure, wear gloves and eye protection if exposure likely
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, place in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, keep away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin before breaks and after work, do not eat, drink, or smoke around open product, label containers clearly and keep storage area clean.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits found for this substance
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or process enclosure to reduce exposure to airborne particles
Personal Protection: Wear approved safety goggles, dust masks or respirators in situations where airborne dust may exceed comfort levels, use gloves resistant to chemical absorption (nitrile or rubber recommended), and wear protective work clothing if contact likely
Environmental Controls: Implement procedures to avoid environmental pollution by large quantities, ensure adequate ventilation in storage and handling spaces.
