First-aid measures
-Eye Contact: Hold eyelids apart and flush eyes with plenty of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
-Ingestion: If patient is conscious, ONLY induce vomiting as directed by trained personnel. NEVER give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention immediately.
-Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. Seek immediate medical attention.
-Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash affected area with soap and water. Wash clothing before reuse. If irritation persists, obtain medical attention
Fire-fighting measures
Flash Point: Not established. Method: Not established.
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not established.
Flammable Limits: Limits not established. Not flammable.
Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishers appropriate for the surrounding fire conditions.
Special Fire Fighting procedures: Firefighters must wear NIOSH approved or equivalent self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Accidental release measures
Spill or Leak Procedures:
Isolate spill and clean up with vacuum. Avoid conditions, which create fumes or fine dust. DO NOT SWEEP SOLIDS. Do not raise dust levels. Place material in proper waste container. An approved air purifying respirator with particulate cartridge and other personal protective equipment such as gloves is recommended. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations. In Europe dispose of following the Special Waste Regulations. Indium may have reclaim value.
Handling and storage
Handling: Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Use care to avoid spills. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Always thoroughly wash your hands after handling this product. DO NOT touch or rub eyes until hands are washed.
Storage Precautions: Store product in tightly capped original containers in a cool, well ventilated and dry area.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Engineering Controls: Local and/or Mechanical (general) exhaust ventilation is recommended to control any air contaminants. Ventilation required if dust generated.
Personal protection:
-Eyes: Wear chemical safety glasses/goggles. Face shield with splash application.
-Respirator: A NIOSH or authority approved air-purifying respirator with a particulate filter is recommended under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to be elevated. Confined areas may require additional protection.
-Skin: Gloves are recommended when handling solids. Disposable nitrile or other chemical glove.
-Other: Lab coat, apron, eyewash fountain in work area. Avoid the use of contact lenses in high fume or dusty areas.
-Work/Hygienic Maintain good housekeeping. Clean up spills immediately. Good personal hygiene is essential. Avoid eating, smoking or drinking in the work area. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately upon leaving the work area.
Stability and reactivity
General: Stable.
Conditions to Avoid: Dust generation.
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids
Hazardous Decomposition /Combustion: Toxic chlorine fumes may form when heated to decomposition. May release toxic fumes. Deliquescent, hydrolyzes to form In (OH)3
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
Disposal considerations
Waste Disposal Method: Scrap indium metal may have some value. Contact a commercial reclaimer for recycling. Otherwise, dispose of in accordance with all Federal, State and Local environmental regulations. In Europe follow the Special Waste Regulations.
