Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High pressure water jet may disperse dust
Specific Hazards: Thermal decomposition may produce carbon oxides and sodium compounds
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and standard protective gear
Special Procedures: Avoid dust formation and inhalation of fumes; use water spray to cool nearby containers
Personal Precautions: Wear dust mask, gloves, and safety goggles as standard precautions against particulate exposure
Environmental Precautions: Prevent uncontrolled entry into waterways and drains; clean up promptly to avoid slip hazard
Clean-Up Methods: Sweep up powder carefully to minimize dust; collect into suitable containers for disposal; wash spill area with water if necessary
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unprotected personnel from affected area; ventilate space as needed
Safe Handling: Use in well-ventilated areas; avoid generating dust; minimize direct contact with skin and eyes
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents may react with this material
Storage Requirements: Store tightly closed in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture and incompatible substances
Packaging Materials: Use containers that provide moisture protection and prevent contamination
Hygiene Practices: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke in processing areas
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for this substance
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to control dust when handling large quantities

Hazardous Decomposition Products: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sodium oxides, and low molecular weight hydrocarbons may form under fire or decomposition
Acute Toxicity: Considered low by oral, dermal, and inhalation exposure routes based on available data
Skin Corrosion/Irritation: May cause transient irritation in sensitive individuals on repeated contact
Eye Damage/Irritation: Dust particles may cause mild, temporary mechanical irritation
Respiratory Sensitization: Fine particles may induce coughing in sensitive individuals
Carcinogenicity: Not listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP, OSHA, or EU CLP
Reproductive Toxicity: No evidence from available studies of reproductive effects
Other Effects: Chronic exposure to nuisance dust can cause mechanical discomfort to mucosal tissues
Ecotoxicity: Considered of low ecological hazard due to slight water solubility and organic character
Persistence and Degradability: Expected to slowly degrade by oxidative and microbial processes in soil
Bioaccumulative Potential: Not likely to bioaccumulate due to low water solubility and metabolizable hydrocarbon chain
Mobility in Soil: Limited mobility based on low water solubility and particle size
