Administrative data

First-aid measures

Remove contaminated clothing. First aid personnel should pay attention to their own safety
If inhaled: Keep patient calm, remove to fresh air, seek medical attention. If breathing difficulties develop, aid in breathing and seek immediate medicaattention.
On skin contact: immediately wash thoroughly with plenty of water, apply sterile dressings, consult a skin specialist
On contact with eyes: in case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately for at least 15 minutes with plenty of water. Immediate medical attention required
On ingestion: immediately rinse mouth and then drink plenty of water, do not induce vomiting, seek medical attention

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: carbon dioxide, dry powder, foam
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-protective clothing

Accidental release measures

Shut off or stop released substance/product under safe conditions. Release of substance/product can cause fire or explosion. Use personal protective clothing. Sources of ignition should kept well clear.
Do not discharge into drains/surface waters/groundwater

Handling and storage

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes and clothing. Keep container tightly sealed. Handle under dry nitrogen. Protect from air. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use antistatic tools. Segregate from oxidants and peroxides.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Respiratory protection in case of vapour/aerosol release. Self-contained breathing apparatus.
Hand protection: use flame resistant (certified to EN407) if the risk of direct, short term contact to this pyrophoric substance cannot be eliminated by the use of closed systems.
Eye protection: tightly fitting safety goggles (cage goggles) (e.g. EN 166) and face shield
Body protection: body protection must be chosen depending on activity and possible exposure, e.g. apron, protecting boots, chemical-protection suit (according to EN 14605 in case of splashes or EN ISO 13982 in case of dust). Protective clothing should be flame resistant.

Stability and reactivity

Strong exothermic reaction with acids.
The product is stable under inert gas, Spontaneous ignition with air. Violent reactions with air and oxidizing agents. Danger of violent reaction with alcohols in the presence of acids.
Avoid all sources of ignition: heat, sparks, open flame. Avoid contact with air.
Substances to avoid: oxygen, oxidizing agents, halogenated hydrocarbons, peroxides
Hazardous decomposition products: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, boranes

Disposal considerations

Incinerate in suitable incineration plant, observing local authority regulations
Contaminated packaging: keep under nitrogen pressure and return to supplier as soon as possible.
