Inhalation: Move person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop. Give artificial respiration if breathing stops.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash skin with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention for burns or severe irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes under running water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Call a physician immediately.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water immediately. Do not induce vomiting unless directed by medical personnel. Seek immediate medical care and provide information about the chemical.
Most Important Symptoms: Severe eye or skin irritation, possible burns, respiratory distress, nausea, headache.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, CO₂, water spray, or alcohol-resistant foam depending on size and location of fire.
Specific Hazards: Product decomposes to toxic fumes of hydrogen chloride, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide when exposed to heat or flame.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need full protective clothing, self-contained breathing apparatus, and chemical-resistant boots and gloves.
Advice for Firefighters: Approach fire from upwind location. Avoid inhaling combustion products. Use water spray to cool containers near fire.
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical splash goggles, acid-resistant gloves, lab coat, and a respirator if ventilation is poor. Evacuate unnecessary personnel from the area.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent chemical from entering waterways, drains, or soil to avoid contamination.
Cleanup Methods: Ventilate affected area. Sweep up spilled powder carefully. Avoid producing dust. Place in suitable, labeled containers for disposal. Wash spill area thoroughly with water. Report releases as required by local regulations.
Handling: Handle only in well-ventilated locations or fume hoods. Keep away from incompatible substances, such as strong oxidizers, acid chlorides, and alkali metals. Avoid inhalation, skin, or eye contact. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling.
Storage: Store tightly sealed in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area away from sunlight. Keep containers upright and clearly labeled. Keep away from sources of ignition and moisture. Store separately from incompatible materials.
Control Parameters: No established occupational exposure limits as of latest guidance. Use local exhaust ventilation or mechanical systems as primary engineering controls.
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical splash goggles, laboratory coat, acid-resistant gloves, and appropriate dust mask or respirator for airborne concentrations.
Engineering Controls: Handle in a chemical fume hood or an environment equipped with eyewash stations and safety showers.
General Hygiene: Wash hands and exposed skin before eating or leaving work area. Remove and wash contaminated clothing.
