Impurities: Typical lab-grade contains minor trace solvents or water (<1%) depending on storage and handling conditions
Inhalation: Move affected person to fresh air; seek medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water for several minutes; remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes; seek medical advice if irritation develops or persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water; do not induce vomiting; seek advice from a medical professional
Advice for Medical Personnel: Provide symptomatic and supportive care; no specific antidote known
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, CO2, or foam for small fires
Unsuitable Media: High-pressure water streams may scatter powder
Fire and Explosion Hazards: May decompose upon heating to form toxic gases such as nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing
Special Precautions: Evacuate unprotected personnel from area; contain runoff to prevent dissemination into environment
Personal Precautions: Use personal protective equipment including gloves, lab coat, safety goggles, and dust mask
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spilled material from entering drains, waterways, or soil
Cleanup Procedures: Sweep up solid material gently; avoid creating dust; transfer to labeled, sealable container for disposal
Ventilation: Use only in well-ventilated areas to avoid dust buildup
Decontamination: Clean surface with water and mild detergent; avoid use of strong oxidizers
Handling: Avoid breathing dust and minimize direct contact; use only with local exhaust or proper fume hood
Safe Practices: Wash hands after handling and before eating or drinking; keep food away from work area
Storage Conditions: Store in a tightly closed container; keep in a cool, dry, ventilated area
Temperature Recommendations: Recommended storage temperature: 2–8°C (refrigerated) to prolong stability
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, and bases may cause decomposition or reduced stability
Special Packaging: Use containers made of glass or compatible plastics
Engineering Controls: Utilize fume hoods, local exhaust, or general ventilation to control airborne dust
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, nitrile or latex gloves, laboratory coat recommended
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved dust respirator if dust levels are elevated
Hygienic Measures: No consumption of food or drink in work area; change out of work clothing before leaving lab
