First Aid Measures

Ingestion
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately.
Inhalation
Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.
Skin
Get medical aid immediately. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Eyes
Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.

Poison Class
3

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials may cause a fire. Use water with caution and in flooding amounts. Extinguishing media: Contact professional fire-fighters immediately.
Fire Potential
These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. Avoid generating dusty conditions.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
Reducing agents, aluminum, copper, phosphorus, sulfur, arsenic, carbon, metal sulfides, organic matter.
Stability
Stable under normal shipping and handling conditions.
Decomposition
Hydrogen iodide.
Combustion Products
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
