Clean-Up Procedures: Scoop up and collect spilled material in a suitable, clearly labeled container for disposal, wash surface with plenty of water, ventilate the area well, avoid generating dust
Handling: Work in a fume hood or well-ventilated space, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, keep container tightly closed when not in use, keep away from combustible materials and reducing agents
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location, separate from flammable or organic materials, acids, and bases, ensure packaging is tightly sealed and clearly labeled, check regularly for leaks or deterioration, avoid exposure to moisture and heat
Exposure Limits: No specific OSHA or ACGIH exposure limits; minimize dust and vapor exposure as low as reasonably achievable
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, closed system handling preferred
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, face shield for splash risk, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or PVC), lab coat or chemical-resistant apron, approved respirator for powder handling, eyewash station and safety shower within immediate reach
