Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Seek medical attention for any persistent symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, or irritation.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with soap and plenty of water, paying attention to creases and under jewelry.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with plenty of clean water for several minutes, holding eyelids open. Remove contact lenses if present.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Seek immediate medical advice, especially if feeling unwell.
Important Symptoms: May cause redness, itching, irritation at point of contact
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam. The solution does not burn easily.
Specific Hazards Arising From Chemical: Material itself does not support combustion but containers may burst if exposed to heat.
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing recommended.
Advice for Firefighters: Move containers out of fire area if it can be done safely. Prevent runoff from entering drains or water sources.
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, eyewear, and a respirator if there is a risk of aerosol formation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spills from reaching soil, sewers, surface water by containing with absorbent material.
Methods for Cleanup: Absorb spill with inert material such as vermiculite or sand. Sweep up and transfer to a suitable container for disposal. Clean with dilute bleach if appropriate and flush area with water. Ventilate after cleaning if indoors.
Handling: Wear lab coat, gloves, and safety goggles. Work in a well-ventilated space or biological safety cabinet. Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and skin contact.
Storage: Store in tightly sealed original container at 2–8°C. Protect from light and strong oxidizing agents. Do not freeze unless specified by supplier.
Exposure Limits: No specific occupational exposure limits set for components in typical use.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general ventilation. Use fume hood when risk of aerosol or vapor exposure rises.
Personal Protective Equipment: Gloves (nitrile or latex), long-sleeved lab clothing, chemical splash goggles, and, where needed, a dust mask or respirator.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly after handling, before eating, drinking, or smoking.
