| First Aid Measures | Back to Contents | 【Ingestion】
Seek medical assistance. | 【Inhalation】
Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. | 【Skin】
Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove material from skin immediately. Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. | 【Eyes】
Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. |
| Handling and Storage | Back to Contents | 【Storage】
Keep in a cool, dry, dark location in a tightly sealed container or cylinder. Keep away from incompatible materials, ignition sources and untrained individuals. Secure and label area. Protect containers/cylinders from physical damage. | 【Handling】
All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood. |
| Hazards Identification | Back to Contents | 【Inhalation】
Inhalation or contact with vapors, substance, or decomposition products may cause severe injury or death. | 【Skin】
See Inhalation. | 【Eyes】
See Inhalation. | 【Hazards】
Self-decomposition or self-ignition may be triggered by heat, chemical reaction, friction or impact. May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May burn violently. Decomposition may be self-accelerating and produce large amounts of gases. Vapors or dust may form explosive mixtures with air. | 【UN (DOT)】

| Fire Fighting Measures | Back to Contents | 【Fire Fighting】
SMALL FIRES: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRES: Flood fire area with water from a distance. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: BEWARE OF POSSIBLE CONTAINER EXPLOSION. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. | 【Fire Potential】
Self-decomposition or self-ignition may be triggered by heat, chemical reaction, friction or impact. |
| Accidental Release Measures | Back to Contents | 【Small spills/leaks】
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. SMALL SPILLS: Take up with inert, damp, noncombustible material using clean non-sparking tools and place into loosely covered plastic containers for later disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. |
| Stability and Reactivity | Back to Contents | 【Incompatibilities】
If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. | 【Stability】
No data. | 【Combustion Products】
May produce irritating, toxic and/or corrosive gases. |
