First Aid Measures

Ingestion
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water provided person is conscious. Call a physician.
Inhalation
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Skin
In case of contact, immediately wash skin with soap and copious amounts of water. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician.
Eyes
In case of contact with eyes, flush with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Assure adequate flushing by separating the eyelids with fingers. Call a physician.

Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep tightly closed. Store in a cool dry place.

Hazards Identification

Ingestion
May be harmful if ingested.
Inhalation
Material may be irritating to mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. May be harmful if inhaled.
Skin
May cause skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Eyes
May cause irritation.
Hazards
Emits toxic fumes under fire conditions.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Compatible chemical-resistant gloves. Chemical safety goggles. Protective clothing.
Respirators
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU). Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection is desired, use multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges.

118
Fire Fighting
Extinguish with water spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder or appropriate foam. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Absorb on sand or vermiculite and place in closed containers for disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities
Strong oxidizing agents.
Decomposition
Oxides of carbon.
