| [Fire Fighting] Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. (Material itself does not burn or burns with difficulty.) | |
| [Fire Potential] Noncombustible. | |
| [Ingestion] Seek medical assistance. | |
| [Inhalation] Move to fresh air. | |
| [Skin] Wash with soap and water. | |
| [Eyes] Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of tepid water for at least 15 minutes. If irritation, pain, swelling, lacrimation, or photophobia persist, the patient should be seen in a health care facility. | |
| [Storage] Keep containers tightly closed in a well ventilated area away from food products. Keep away from heat and water. | |
| [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. | |
| [Inhalation] Respirations are first stimulated then depressed. Death is usually from respiratory paralysis. Following inhalation, coughing and choking may be noted. | |
| [Skin] Urticaria and pruritus have been reported following exposure to fluoride. | |
| [Eyes] Zirconium and its compounds are eye irritants. | |
| [Ingestion] Epigastric pain, nausea, dysphagia, salivation, hematemesis, and diarrhea may be noted. These effects may be delayed for several hours following exposure. Gi symptoms are noted when 3 to 5 mg/kg of fluoride are ingested. | |
| [Hazards] Some may burn but none ignite readily. May polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Containers may explode when heated. Some may be transported hot. | |
| [UN (DOT)] 9162 | |
| [Personal Protection] Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles. | |
| [Respirators] Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). | |
| [Exposure Effects] Hyperactive reflexes, painful muscle spasms, weakness and tetanic contractures may be noted due to fluoride induced hypocalcemia. Prenatal fluoride supplementation (2.2 mg NaF or 1 mg fluoride daily) during the last two trimesters of pregnancy has been reported to be safe. | |

| [Small spills/leaks] Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Land spill: Dig a pit, pond, lagoon, holding area to contain liquid or solid material. Cover solids with a plastic sheet to prevent dissolving in rain or fire fighting water. Water spill: Use mechanical dredges or lifts to remove immobilized masses of pollutants and precipitates. | |
| [Stability] No data. | |
| [Incompatibilities] Reacts as acid to neutralize bases. | |
| [Decomposition] When heated to decomposition, emits toxic fumes of hydrogen fluoride. | |
| [Combustion Products] Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. | |
| [UN Number] 9162 | |
| [Hazard Class] 9 |
