First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, supply fresh air or oxygen. Seek medical attention. If not breathing, apply artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Remove contaminated clothing. Immediately wash with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse.
Rinse opened eye for at least 15 minutes under running water, lifting lower and upper eyelids occasionally. Seek medical attention.
If swallowed, wash out mouth with water, provided person is conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention.
Immediate Medical Attention
Seek medical attention.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Use alcohol foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Water may be ineffective.
During heating or in case of fire, poisonous gases are produced. Fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source, is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Firefighters should wear protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Firefighter Protection
Firefighters should wear protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Contact safety officer and ventilate area.
Prevent dispersion of material. Do not allow to enter drains or water courses. Water runoff can cause environmental damage.
Absorb spill with inert material, including dry-lime, sand, or soda ash, then place into a chemical waste container using non-sparking tools. Wash spill site.
Materials: dry-lime, sand, or soda ash

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Protect against physical damage. Ensure good ventilation / exhaustion. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. Do not use if skin is cut or scratched.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from incompatible material. Storage area should be cool, dry and well ventilated.
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US), dust mask type N95 or CEN (EU) type PI. Proper ventilation, safety shower, and eye bath required. Local Exhaust: 50 – 100 CFM. Special: Safety shower and eye wash.
Compatible chemical-resistant gloves.
Safety glasses or chemical goggles to EN 166, 167, and 168.
With sufficient ventilation, breathing apparatus may not be necessary. In the event of possible spill / exposure, use dust mask to EN 149 FFP2S.
Uniform, lab coat, or disposable lab wear.
