Section 4: First aid measures

Skin contact

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical attention.

Eye contact

Open eyelids and flush with running water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention.

Inhalation

Move to fresh air. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration. Give oxygen. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion

Drink warm water, induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.

Section 5: Firefighting measures

Hazardous characteristics

Combustible when exposed to open flame or high heat. Decomposes under high heat, releasing toxic fumes.

Hazardous combustion products

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride.

Extinguishing media

Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, dry sand.

Firefighter protection

Firefighters must wear gas masks and full fire-fighting suits. Do not use direct water stream.

Flash point

99 C

Section 6: Accidental release measures

Emergency response

Isolate the contaminated area. Set up warning signs. Emergency responders should wear gas masks and general fire-fighting clothing. Do not contact spillage directly. Absorb with sand, vermiculite or other inert material. Collect and transport to waste disposal site. For large spills, collect for recycling or disposal after treatment.

Section 7: Handling and storage

Handling precautions

Handle in enclosed systems with local exhaust ventilation. Operators must be specially trained. Wear self-priming filter respirator (half-mask), chemical safety goggles, chemical-resistant clothing and rubber gloves. Keep away from fire and heat sources. No smoking in work area. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems. Avoid contact with oxidizers, acids, acid anhydrides and acid chlorides.

Storage precautions

Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Protect from direct sunlight. Keep container sealed. Store separately from oxidizers, acids, acid anhydrides and acid chlorides.

Section 8: Exposure controls/personal protection

Engineering controls

Enclosed production processes with general ventilation.

Respiratory protection

Wear gas mask when air concentration is high.

Eye protection

Chemical safety goggles.

Body protection

Close-fitting work clothes and rubber boots.

Hand protection

Protective gloves.
