Irritation, Nausea,Headache, Shortness of breath.;
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:
If seeking medical attention, provide SDS document to physician.

SECTION 5 : Firefighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing agents: If in laboratory setting, follow laboratory fire suppression procedures. Use
appropriate fire suppression agents for adjacent combustible materials or sources of ignition
For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: Carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Combustion products may include carbon oxides or other toxic vapors.Thermal decomposition can lead to
release of irritating gases and vapors.Sodium oxides.
Advice for firefighters:
Protective equipment: Use NIOSH-approved respiratory protection/breathing apparatus.
Additional information (precautions): Move product containers away from fire or keep cool with water
spray as a protective measure, where feasible.

SECTION 6 : Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear protective equipment. Transfer to a disposal or recovery container.Use respiratory protective device
against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol. Keep unprotected persons away. Ensure adequate ventilation.Keep
away from ignition sources. Protect from heat.
Environmental precautions:
Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway. Collect contaminated soil for characterization per Section 13
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan procedures.Place into properly labeled containers for
recovery or disposal. If necessary, use trained response staff/contractor.Collect liquid and dilute with water.
Neutralize with dilute acid solutions. Decant water to drain with excess water. Absorb with suitable material.
Dispose of remaining solid as normal refuse. Always obey local regulations.
Reference to other sections:

SECTION 7 : Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:
Absorb spillage to prevent material damage due to corrosiveness to metal. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Wash hands after handling. Do not mix with acids.Follow good hygiene procedures when handling
chemical materials. Use only in well ventilated areas.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Control Parameters: No applicable occupational exposure limits

Appropriate Engineering controls: Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in
the immediate vicinity of use/handling.Provide exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor
or dusts (total/respirable) below the applicable workplace exposure limits
(Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.
Respiratory protection: Use suitable respiratory protective device when high concentrations are
present. Use suitable respiratory protective device when aerosol or mist
is formed. For spills, respiratory protection may be advisable.
Protection of skin: The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/
the substance/ the preparation being used/handled.Selection of the glove
material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and
the degradation.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
General hygienic measures: The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling
chemicals. Keep away from food, beverages and feed sources.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Wash hands
before breaks and at the end of work. Do not inhale
gases/fumes/dust/mist/vapor/aerosols. Avoid contact with the eyes and
skin.
