Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide
Special Hazards: Fire may result in release of hazardous vapors, including nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear full protective gear and self-contained breathing apparatus in enclosed spaces
Advice for Firefighters: Use water spray to cool containers, evacuate area, approach from upwind to avoid smoke exposure
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing dust, ventilate area, wear protective gloves, goggles, and clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, and waterways, contain spills using inert materials
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with sand or earth, transfer waste into suitable container for disposal, wash area with water and detergent, ventilate affected area
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate all nonessential personnel, follow site-specific chemical spill protocol
Handling: Always use in a well-ventilated location, wear protective equipment, avoid generating dust, keep container tightly closed
Storage: Store at room temperature in a dry, well-ventilated environment, keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and incompatible materials like strong oxidizers
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids and bases, oxidizing agents, reactive metals
Other Precautions: Use proper grounding and bonding if transferring material, label storage area and containers, prevent static electricity buildup
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits, follow general industry guidelines for organic chemicals
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation systems, process enclosure if needed
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, laboratory coat, closed shoes
Respiratory Protection: Use approved mask or respirator if dust or vapor develops over threshold limits
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, change contaminated clothes immediately, do not eat, drink, or smoke in work area
