First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Check for and remove contacts. Flood eyes with clean flowing water, low pressure and lukewarm (not hot) if possible, occasionally lifting eyelids.
If large amounts of this material are swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Administer water if person is conscious. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Medical Treatment
Large doses may produce systemic alkalosis and expansion in extracellular fluid volume with edema.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Non-combustible material. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.
None known.
Carbon Dioxide may be generated making necessary the use of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective equipment (Bunker Gear).
Firefighter Protection
Use of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective equipment (Bunker Gear).
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Wash away small uncontaminated amounts of residue with water.
Scoop up into dry, clean containers.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Do not enter confined spaces until they have been well ventilated and carbon dioxide and oxygen levels have been determined to be safe.
Store in cool, dry areas and away from incompatible substances (see Section 10).
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
General purpose for handling dry product. Impervious gloves when working with solutions.
Safety glasses when handling bulk material or when dusts are generated.
Dust mask required if total dust level exceeds 10 mg/m³.
Full cover clothing. Apron where splashing may occur when working with solutions.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance, physical state, melting point, boiling point, and material characteristics
Stability and Reactivity
Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials
Stable.
Dangerous reaction with monoammonium phosphate or a sodium-potassium alloy may occur.
Temperatures above 65°C (150°F).
Reacts with acids to yield carbon dioxide. May also yield free caustic in presence of lime dust (CaO) and moisture (i.e., water, perspiration). Dangerous reaction with monoammonium phosphate or a sodium-potassium alloy may occur.
Heating above 100°C may cause dangerous levels of carbon dioxide gas to be present in confined spaces. Yields sodium oxide if exposed to temperatures above 850°C. Avoid inhalation, eye and skin contact with sodium oxide.
