First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air right away. If breathing appears difficult, supply oxygen or assist ventilation as needed. Seek medical attention quickly.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with plenty of water for at least fifteen minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek physician advice if discomfort remains.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water only if person is conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get emergency medical help without delay.
Important Symptoms/Effects: Gastrointestinal symptoms, headache, dizziness, possible central nervous system depression or convulsions at high dose.
Advice for Medical Personnel: Symptomatic and supportive treatment. Monitor respiratory and cardiac function.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam. Avoid direct water jet which may spread material.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon oxides.
Protection for Firefighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Approach fire from upwind side to avoid smoke exposure.
Fire Hazards: Dust can form explosive mixtures with air. Toxic fumes can develop under fire conditions.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves, and safety goggles. Avoid dust formation and breathing dust. Remove all sources of ignition.
Environmental Precautions: Keep out of drains and waterways. Prevent further leaking or spillage if safe to do so.
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up carefully without creating dust. Collect in a sealed, labeled container for disposal. Ventilate area and wash site after material pick-up is complete.
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate personnel to safe area if necessary.

Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated place. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wear personal protective equipment when handling. Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Keep container tightly closed in a dry, cool, well-ventilated location away from incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers. Store locked up and keep out of reach of children or untrained persons.
Other Advice: Avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas. Wash hands after use.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits assigned.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation or fume hood recommended. Facilities for washing should be readily available.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator as needed.
Eye Protection: Chemical splash goggles or safety glasses.
Hand Protection: Impervious gloves such as nitrile or latex.
Skin/Bodily Protection: Lab coat or protective clothing to minimize exposure.
