First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove person to fresh air. Seek medical attention if symptoms develop such as headache, dizziness, or respiratory discomfort.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and plenty of water. If irritation persists or rash occurs, seek medical advice.
Eye Contact: Rinse eyes immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, keeping eyelids open. Remove contact lenses. Get medical assistance if irritation continues.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water if conscious. Get medical attention immediately.
Important Symptoms: Respiratory and eye irritation, skin redness, allergic reactions.
Notes for Medical Personnel: Treat symptomatically. Monitor for signs of exposure and respiratory distress.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, water spray (do not use direct water jet).
Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Can release hazardous acrid fumes and nitrogen oxides when decomposed by heat.
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective gear. Approach from upwind.
Firefighting Instructions: Cool closed containers with water spray. Use water spray to disperse vapors. Avoid runoff into water sources.
Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, irritating and toxic fumes.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear protective gloves, goggles, and respirator.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spill from entering drains, watercourses, soil.
Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with inert material (sand, earth, vermiculite). Collect into suitable containers for disposal. Wash area with plenty of water and detergent.
Special Procedures: Remove all sources of ignition. Use nonsparking tools.
Notification: Report large releases to local authorities as required by regulations.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Handle only with adequate ventilation. Avoid all contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Do not breathe vapors. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed, properly labeled container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, open flames, oxidizing agents, acids, and direct sunlight. Maintain temperature below 25°C. Segregate from food and beverages. Protect from static discharge.
Other Information: Use approved containers with pressure relief. Inspect regularly for leaks or degradation.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established for this compound. Recommended: minimize inhalation and skin contact.
Engineering Controls: Provide local exhaust ventilation or use fume hoods in areas of vapor generation.
Respiratory Protection: Wear organic vapor cartridge respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
Skin Protection: Chemical resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), long sleeves, lab coat or chemical apron.
Eye Protection: Safety goggles and face shield where splash hazard exists.
Hygiene Measures: Remove contaminated clothing immediately; launder before reuse. Wash hands before eating or drinking.
