-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. Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical.
Special Fire Fighting procedures: Will decompose in a general fire. 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. For liquids: Isolate spill and remove with absorbent. Place in proper container. Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations. In Europe dispose of following the Special Waste Regulations. Indium may have reclaim value.
