Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam, water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct high-pressure water stream may scatter material
Specific Hazards: Produces carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide under fire conditions
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective gear, avoid inhalation of smoke
Firefighting Advice: Remove containers from area if safe, cool exposed containers with water spray, watch for toxic fumes

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear safety goggles, gloves, dust mask, provide adequate ventilation, remove ignition sources
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering soil, drains, waterways
Spill Cleanup Methods: Scoop spilled product into appropriate container, clean area with damp absorbent material, dispose as hazardous waste
Disposal Considerations: Place collected material in sealed, labeled container for disposal, avoid creating airborne dust

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling Practices: Use in well-ventilated area, minimize dust, keep away from heat and open flame, avoid inhalation and skin contact
Storage Conditions: Store tightly sealed in cool, dry, ventilated area, keep container upright and away from incompatible substances
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands after handling, prevent eating or drinking in working area, launder contaminated clothing before reuse

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established limit for this compound; limit exposure to general dust standards (OSHA PEL for particulates not otherwise regulated: 15 mg/m³ total dust, 5 mg/m³ respirable)
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood, local exhaust ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, laboratory coat, dust respirator (N95 or equivalent)
