Inhalation: Move person to fresh air, keep at rest in a comfortable position, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing, wash affected area thoroughly with water and soap, get medical attention for persistent irritation or burns
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses if present and easy to do, continue rinsing, seek medical help for persistent pain or redness
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting unless instructed by medical personnel, call doctor or poison control center immediately
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide, powder, foam or water spray for small fires
Unsuitable Media: Avoid direct water jet for large liquid spills as it may spread fire
Specific Hazards: Combustion may produce carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, hazardous fumes
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Precautions: Prevent run-off from entering drains or open water sources, ventilate area to disperse fumes after fire is controlled
Personal Precautions: Wear protective gloves, goggles, and suitable protective clothing, ensure adequate ventilation
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so, avoid discharge to drains, surface and ground water
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with inert material (sand, diatomaceous earth), collect in suitable closed containers for disposal, wash residue with plenty of water, ventilate affected area thoroughly
Precautions for Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas, avoid direct contact with hands, eyes, or skin, keep away from incompatible materials which include strong oxidizers and acids
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands after handling, do not eat or drink in working areas, remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed in cool, well-ventilated place away from heat and direct sunlight, keep container upright and dry, segregate from volatile organics and strong acids
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established by OSHA, ACGIH, or NIOSH
Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate local exhaust ventilation and general ventilation in work area
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, tightly sealed safety goggles, lab coat or apron, use of suitable respirator for higher vapor or dust levels
Environmental Controls: Implement spill containment to prevent run-off, utilize closed systems where feasible

Chronic Effects: Repeated or prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals
Other Effects: Not identified as a carcinogen, mutagen or reproductive toxicant by major agencies
Target Organs: Eyes, skin, respiratory tract
Ecotoxicity: No long-term aquatic toxicity data available, precaution advised for accidental release in large quantities to watercourses
Persistence and Degradability: Likely not readily biodegradable; persistence probable in soil and aquatic environments
Bioaccumulation Potential: Unknown, but likely low due to low water solubility
Mobility in Soil: Low potential for migration based on structure and physical properties
