First-aid measures

Skin contact: Remove/Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Gently wash with plenty of soap and water. If skin

irritation or rash occurs: Get medical advice/attention.

Eye contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do.

Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.

Ingestion: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell. Rinse mouth with water.

Protection of first-aiders: A rescuer should wear personal protective equipment, such as rubber gloves and air-tight goggles.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical powder,  foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.

Extinguishing media not to be used: Solid streams of water.

Specific hazards: Take care as it may decompose upon combustion or in high temperatures to generate poisonous fume.

Special protective equipment for firefighters: When extinguishing fire, be sure to wear personal protective equipment.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ensure adequate

ventilation. Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled around the leakage area by roping off, etc.

Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Absorb spilled material in a suitable absorbent (e.g. rag, dry sand, earth, saw-dust). In case of large

amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed

of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.

Handling and storage

Handling

Technical measures: Handling is performed in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective equipment. Prevent generation of

vapor or mist. Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.

Use a ventilation, local exhaust if vapor or aerosol will be generated.

Advice on safe handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Storage

Storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool and dark place.

Store locked up. Store away from incompatible materials such as oxidizing agents.

Packaging material: Law is followed.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering controls: Install a closed system or local exhaust as possible so that workers should not be exposed directly. Also

install safety shower and eye bath.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection: Half or full facepiece respirator, self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA), supplied air respirator, etc.

Use respirators approved under appropriate government standards and follow local and national

regulations.

Hand protection: Impervious gloves.

Eye protection: Safety goggles. A face-shield, if the situation requires.

Skin and body protection: Impervious protective clothing. Protective boots, if the situation requires.

Stability and reactivity

Stability: Stable under proper conditions.

Reactivity: No special reactivity has been reported.

Incompatible materials: oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases, reducing agents

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Cyanide

Disposal considerations

Recycle to process, if possible. Consult your local regional authorities. You may be able to burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an

afterburner and scrubber system. Observe all federal, state and local regulations when disposing of the substance.
