Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear for fire-fighting teams
Fire Fighting Instructions: Move containers from fire area if possible without risk, use water spray to cool unopened containers
Explosion Data: No data on sensitivity to mechanical impact or static discharge, dust may form explosive mixture with air when finely divided

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, avoid contact with skin and eyes, avoid dust formation, ensure proper ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to drains, surface water, or soil, contain spillage using suitable absorbents
Spill Cleanup Methods: Collect spillage with non-sparking tools, sweep or vacuum material into a closed, labeled container for proper disposal, wash area with mild detergent and water
Protective Measures: Use recommended personal protective equipment at all times during clean-up

Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid ingestion, inhalation, and skin or eye contact, manipulate chemical in a fume hood or with adequate local exhaust, wear appropriate protective clothing and equipment, wash hands thoroughly after handling
