Protective Equipment: Wear full protective suit, self-contained breathing apparatus
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers from fire if safe, do not breathe combustion gases, use water to keep adjacent containers cool
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, wear suitable protective clothing, ensure adequate ventilation, avoid contact with skin and eyes
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains or waterways, inform authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution
Methods for Containment and Cleaning Up: Sweep up and place in a suitable container for disposal, avoid dust formation, clean spills thoroughly with water and detergent, ventilate area, dispose of materials according to local regulations
Handling: Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, keep container tightly closed, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, wash hands after handling, do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place away from incompatible substances like water, strong oxidizers, and bases, protect container from physical damage, keep away from direct sunlight and heat sources
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits established; minimize exposure to safest extent
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or chemical process enclosure to control airborne levels
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof or dust-proof goggles, lab coat, suitable respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate, emergency showers and eyewash stations nearby
Hygiene Measures: Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse, wash hands thoroughly after handling.
