| [Fire Fighting] Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. To extinguish fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam. | |
| [Fire Potential] Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. | |
| [Ingestion] If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. | |
| [Inhalation] Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid immediately. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. | |
| [Eyes] Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately. | |
| [Storage] Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. | |
| [Handling] Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use with adequate ventilation. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause respiratory tract irritation. | |
| [Skin] May cause skin irritation. | |
| [Eyes] May cause eye irritation. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause irritation of the digestive tract. Inorganic fluorides can be harmful. Acute exposure to fluorine compounds can lead to digestive tract burns, and abdominal pain. | |
| [Hazards] Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. | |

| [Personal Protection] Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to prevent skin exposure. | |
| [Respirators] 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. | |
| [Exposure Effects] Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause fluorosis with skeletal abnormalities. Chronic exposure to fluoride compounds may cause systemic toxicity. | |
