First Aid Measures

Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to remove. Continue rinsing. Seek medical advice if irritation persists.
Skin Contact: Wash thoroughly with soap and water for at least 15 minutes. Take off contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Get medical attention for persistent symptoms.
Inhalation: Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. Seek medical attention if respiratory symptoms occur.
Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention if you feel unwell.
Most Important Symptoms & Effects: Redness, itching, watery eyes, cough, sore throat.
Immediate Medical Attention: For exposure involving large area or serious symptoms, consult a physician or poison center.

Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam. Avoid high-pressure streams that may cause splashing.
Specific Hazards: Decomposition during fire may release hydrogen fluoride, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, perfluorinated compounds.
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical-resistant clothing. Move containers from fire area if safely possible.
Advice for Firefighters: Cool nearby containers with water. Prevent runoff to sewers or waterways. Remain upwind to avoid toxic gases.

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. Avoid inhaling dust or vapors.
Methods for Containment: Stop leak if safe. Cover spill with inert absorbent material (sand, earth). Prevent spreading.
Clean-up Procedures: Collect material with non-sparking tools and transfer to labeled container for disposal. Flush area with plenty of water. Avoid discharge to environment.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, or surface waters. Notify authorities if spill reaches water body.

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use only in well-ventilated area. Minimize dust formation and avoid skin or eye contact. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. Protect from sunlight and moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials, such as strong acids and oxidizers.
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, reactive metals.

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits specific to this compound; observe general nuisance thresholds (total dust: 10 mg/m³, respirable dust: 3 mg/m³)
Engineering Controls: Handle in fume hood or with local exhaust ventilation. Provide eye wash and safety shower in working area.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, long-sleeved work clothing. Respiratory protection required for dust or inadequate ventilation.
Environmental Controls: Prevent chemical release to environment using closed systems or capture, and treat contaminated air or water streams.
