First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse. Wash with a disinfectant soap and cover the contaminated skin with an anti-bacterial cream.
Check for and remove any contact lenses. In case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
Do NOT induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If large quantities of this material are swallowed, loosen tight clothing such as a collar, tie, belt or waistband.
Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical attention. Seek medical attention. Call a physician immediately.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam.
Do not use water jet.
May be combustible at high temperature. Slightly flammable to flammable in presence of heat. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Sulfur oxides, and Hydrogen Sulfide gas.
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use appropriate tools to put the spilled solid in a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and dispose of according to local and regional authority requirements.
Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container. Finish cleaning by spreading water on the contaminated surface and allow to evacuate through the sanitary system.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Keep locked up.. Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If you feel unwell, seek medical attention and show the label when possible. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, reducing agents, alkalis.
Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Refrigerate. Do not store above 6°C (42.8°F).
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the residue under a fume hood.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Gloves.
Splash goggles.
Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used to avoid inhalation of the product (in case of large spill).
Lab coat. Full suit (in case of large spill). Boots (in case of large spill).
