First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move to fresh air, seek medical advice if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Rinse skin with plenty of water, remove contaminated clothing, wash area with soap
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for at least 15 minutes, consult physician if irritation persists
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, do not induce vomiting, get medical attention if large quantities are consumed or if symptoms develop
Indication of Immediate Medical Attention: Symptomatic treatment only, unlikely to lead to life-threatening effects under normal handling

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry chemical, carbon dioxide
Specific Hazards: Decomposes at high temperatures to produce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sodium oxides
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use standard protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus to prevent inhalation of smoke or decomposition products
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water spray, avoid breathing vapors or decomposition products

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear appropriate protective equipment including gloves, goggles, dust masks or respirators where dust occurs
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, waterways, or soil to avoid contamination
Methods for Cleaning Up: Sweep up or vacuum material; use damp cloth to minimize dust, transfer to a properly labeled container for disposal, ventilate area

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use in well-ventilated area, avoid inhaling dust, prevent contact with eyes, skin, or clothing, practice good hygiene after handling
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, keep in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area, protect from moisture, store away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, oxidizing agents

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No regulatory occupational exposure limits assigned
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation to control dust generation, ensure eyewash stations and emergency showers are accessible
Personal Protection: Wear safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves, lab coats, dust mask or respirator for heavy dust environments, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking in area of use
