First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air immediately. If difficulty in breathing persists, seek medical advice. Provide oxygen if available, keep person warm. Symptoms can include throat irritation and coughing.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. Contact physician if irritation develops or persists.
Eye Contact: Rinse opened eye for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical assistance if redness, pain, or blurred vision occur.
Ingestion: Call poison control or seek medical attention. Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting without medical advice. Watch for symptoms like nausea and dizziness.
Important Note: Show this safety data sheet to attending medic

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, foam, water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jets, as these may spread the fire
Special Hazards: May release toxic fumes such as bromine, sulfur oxides, and carbon oxides during combustion
Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full fire-fighting gear recommended
Firefighting Advices: Avoid inhalation of hazardous decomposition products; isolate area and stay upwind
Explosion Risk: No known explosion hazard; treat as combustible solid

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area unless trained in spill response. Wear suitable respiratory protection, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and laboratory protective clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains or water sources. Notify authorities if large quantities escape into environment
Methods for Containment: Contain spill using inert materials like vermiculite or sand; do not use combustible absorbents like sawdust
Cleanup Procedures: Collect spilled material in suitable closed and labeled containers for proper disposal; ventilate affected area and decontaminate with detergent and water

Handling and Storage

Handling Precautions: Use in a well-ventilated area. Avoid breathing dust and avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Use proper lifting techniques when moving containers.
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during handling. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Storage Conditions: Store in a dry place, away from sources of ignition and out of direct sunlight. Keep in tightly sealed original containers at room temperature or as directed.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids and bases.
Specific Requirements: Segregate from foodstuffs and incompatible chemicals, label storage area appropriately.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established OSHA/ACGIH limits; minimize exposure as much as possible
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or local exhaust ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear NIOSH approved respirator if dust or vapors may be generated, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), lab coat, chemical safety goggles; in case of large scale handling wear face shield and protective suit
Workplace Hygiene: Remove contaminated clothing before leaving work area. Eye wash stations and safety showers should be accessible
