| [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] 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 breathing is difficult, give oxygen. DO NOT use mouth-to-mouth respiration. If breathing has ceased apply artificial respiration using oxygen and a suitable mechanical device such as a bag and a mask. | |
| [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. Destroy contaminated shoes. | |
| [Eyes] Get medical aid immediately. Do NOT allow victim to rub or keep eyes closed. Extensive irrigation is required (at least 30 minutes). | |
| [Storage] Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. | |
| [Handling] Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash clothing before reuse. Discard contaminated shoes. | |
| [Inhalation] May cause systemic effects. Can produce delayed pulmonary edema. Causes severe respiratory tract irritation with possible burns. | |
| [Skin] Causes skin irritation and burns. May cause skin rash (in milder cases), and cold and clammy skin with cyanosis or pale color. | |
| [Eyes] Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation, and possible eye burns. Lachrymator. May cause chemical conjunctivitis and corneal damage. | |
| [Ingestion] May cause severe and permanent damage to the digestive tract. May cause systemic effects. May cause central nervous system effects including confusion, hyperreflexia, tremors, dysarthria, and seizures | |
| [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] Effects may be delayed. | |
