Hazardous combustion products: Toxic fumes of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrogen chloride gas.

DOT Class: Not regulated.


Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Ventilate area of leak or spill. Keep unnecessary and unprotected people away from area of spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, respirator, chemical safety goggles, rubber boots and heavy rubber gloves. Pick up and place in a suitable container for reclamation or disposal, using a method that does not generate dust.  Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.


Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry ventilated area. Protect against physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product.

Storage temperature:  Cool area.

Storage Pressure: NIF


Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Mechanical exhaust required.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: Personal respirators (NIOSH Approved). For conditions of use where exposure to the dust or mist is apparent, a half-face dust/mist respirator may be worn. For emergencies or instances where the exposure levels are not known, use a full-face positive-pressure, air-supplied respirator. WARNING: Air-purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres.

Protective gloves: Chemical resistant gloves.
Skin protection: Protective clothing.
Eye protection: Use chemical safety goggles.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: Safety shower and eye bath.  There is insufficient data in the published literature to assign complete numerical SAF-T-DATA ratings and laboratory protective equipment for this product. Special precautions must be used in storage, use and handling. Protective equipment for laboratory bench use should be chosen using professional judgment based on the size and type of reaction or test to be conducted and the available ventilation, with overriding consideration to minimize contact with the chemical.
