Inhalation: Move outside to fresh air immediately. If breathing has stopped, give artificial respiration. Seek medical attention urgently.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with plenty of water and soap. Get medical help for persistent irritation.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes gently with water for at least 15 minutes, lifting eyelids occasionally. Seek immediate medical help.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, but do not induce vomiting. Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Medical attention required.
Advice for Doctor: Administer symptomatic treatment and monitor for signs of cyanide poisoning or methemoglobinemia.
Extinguishing Media: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam. Water spray for larger fires only if safe.
Hazards from Combustion: May release toxic gases including nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, sodium oxides, iron oxides on decomposition.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear SCBA and protective clothing.
Special Procedures: Keep containers cool with water spray. Evacuate the area and fight fire from a safe distance.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Wear suitable protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and lab coat.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to drains, watercourses, or soil.
Methods for Cleanup: Sweep up carefully to avoid dusting. Collect spill in appropriate containers for disposal. Ventilate area and wash with plenty of water.
Handling: Keep away from incompatible materials, especially acids. Handle in fume hood or with local exhaust. Wash thoroughly after use.
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated chemical storage area. Keep container tightly sealed. Keep away from children. Separate from food and drink.
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits set for this material; treat as hazardous.
Engineering Controls: Work in a fume hood or implement local exhaust ventilation.
Personal Protection: Use chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, lab coat, and respiratory protection if dust or fume is present.
Hygiene Measures: Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use. Wash hands before breaks and after handling.
