Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Not flammable, but product can decompose in fire, producing irritating or toxic fumes (oxides of carbon, sodium compounds)
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Specific Methods: Avoid inhalation of combustion gases; cool exposed containers with water

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Avoid dust formation; ventilate area; avoid contact with skin and eyes
Protective Equipment: Use gloves, safety glasses, dust mask for cleanup
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering drains, surface water, or soil in large amounts
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up or vacuum, place in properly labeled containers for disposal; wash area with water after material has been removed

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling: Ensure good ventilation; use personal protective equipment to prevent skin/eye contact; avoid creating dust
