Administrative data

First-aid measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid.

Skin: Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.

Ingestion: Get medical aid. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.

Inhalation: Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid.

Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

Fire-fighting measures

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Hazardous decomposition products: hydrogen cyanide, carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen fluoride gas, fluorine.

Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.

Accidental release measures

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment : protective clothing and gloves, safety goggles and respirator.

Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.

Handling and storage

Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation.Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed. Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Avoid breathing dust, mist, or vapor. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
