Other Information: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam.
HAZCHEM: Carbon, sulphur, nitrogen & sodium oxides.

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand. MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use proper PPE as indicated in Section 8.
Environmental precautions: Not available.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Conditions for safe storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Skin protection: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure.
Body protection: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Respiratory protection: Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Always use a NIOSH or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator when necessary.
