Handling and Storage

Storage
Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container. Flammables-area.
Handling
Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Use only in a chemical fume hood.

Hazards Identification

Ingestion
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if swallowed.
Inhalation
May cause respiratory tract irritation. Toxic if inhaled.
Skin
May cause skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Eyes
May cause eye irritation.

Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

Personal Protection
Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respirators
Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.

Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
-22
Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Will burn if involved in a fire. Extinguishing media: Use dry chemical or foam.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Absorb spill with inert material, (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place into a chemical waste container. Remove all sources of ignition. Use a spark-proof tool.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
Decomposition
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
