| [Fire Fighting] Extinguish using agent most appropriate for surrounding fire. | |
| [Fire Potential] Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. | |
| [Ingestion] Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. | |
| [Inhalation] Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. | |
| [Skin] Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits further exposure. | |
| [Eyes] Immediately 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. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause severe irritation of the upper respiratory tract with pain, burns, and inflammation. May cause kidney damage. | |
| [Skin] Contact with skin causes irritation and possible burns, especially if the skin is wet or moist. | |
| [Eyes] Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye burns. | |
| [Ingestion] Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. Causes severe pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and shock. May cause hemorrhaging of the digestive tract. Overexposure can cause hypocalcemia and kidney | |
| [Hazards] Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. | |
