Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air, check breathing, provide oxygen if breathing is difficult, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes, remove contaminated clothing, get medical attention if irritation develops
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids, remove contact lenses, obtain medical help if pain or redness continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water, never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, seek immediate medical support
Most Important Symptoms: Cough, redness, itchiness, stomach upset, possible headache or dizziness
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use foam, dry chemical, or CO2; water spray may be used to cool exposed containers; avoid direct stream of water
Hazardous Combustion Products: Nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, toxic fumes
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Special Hazards: Dust-air mixtures can ignite; containers may rupture when heated
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment—gloves, goggles, dust mask; avoid creating dusty conditions; ventilate the affected area
Environmental Precautions: Do not let run-off reach waterways, drains, or sewers; contain spillage, prevent soil contamination
Clean-Up Method: Collect spilled material using a method that minimizes dust generation—damp sweeping, careful shoveling; place in a labeled container for recycling or disposal; wash contaminated area with water and detergent
Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, minimize dust, handle away from sources of ignition, avoid skin and eye contact
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, ventilated spot away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents or acids; protect from moisture, direct sunlight, and excessive temperatures
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, moisture, and alkali metals; avoid storing with food, drinks, or feed
Engineering Controls: Use fume hoods, local exhaust ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, laboratory coat, dust respirator
Hygiene Measures: Remove contaminated clothing, wash hands and face thoroughly after use
