Protective Equipment: Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus with full protective gear.
Special Measures: Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent rupture.
Personal Precautions: Wear safety glasses, gloves, and dust mask; avoid breathing dust or vapors.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, soil, and drains.
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up gently to minimize dust. Collect in labeled container for disposal. Wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid dust generation. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
Safe Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from strong oxidizers. Keep containers upright and clearly labeled.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with strong acids, oxidizers, and bases.
Exposure Limits: No established workplace exposure limits for this substance.
Engineering Controls: Use adequate local exhaust ventilation to maintain exposure below nuisance dust limits.
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, dust mask, and protective clothing.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling and before eating or smoking. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in work areas.
