Medical Notes: Symptomatic treatment recommended; no specific antidote known
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, or water spray; use media appropriate for surrounding fire
Unsuitable Media: Do not use high-pressure water jets directly on burning material due to risk of spread
Hazards from Combustion: May produce smoke, carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides under fire conditions
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent skin and eye contact
Advice for Firefighters: Approach fire from upwind position, prevent runoff into drains or waterways, keep containers cool with water spray
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, use personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, suitable clothing), ensure adequate ventilation
Spill Cleanup Methods: Stop leak if safe, absorb with inert material such as sand or earth, collect into suitable containers for disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe, do not allow to enter drains or watercourses; notify appropriate authorities if large quantities have entered the environment
Decontamination: Wash residue away with water, avoid creating slippery surfaces
Safe Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing; do not breathe vapor, mist, or spray; handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices
