First-Aid Measures
Eyes
Rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. Seek medical attention immediately.
Skin
Immediately flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing. Wash with soap. Get medical attention immediately.
Inhalation
Move person to fresh air and keep comfortable for breathing. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Get medical attention immediately.
Ingestion
Do Not Induce Vomiting! Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If conscious, wash out mouth with water. Get medical attention immediately.
Most Important Symptoms and Effects
Eye contact causes serious eye damage: pain, redness and corneal injury, which may be permanent.
Skin contact causes irritation: redness, itching and pain; repeated contact may dry and crack the skin.
Ingestion may cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain; larger amounts may cause systemic poisoning.
Immediate Medical Attention and Special Treatment
Immediate medical attention is required after eye contact; eye damage may continue after exposure ends.
Section 5
Fire-Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Water spray or fog in large quantities. Do NOT use dry chemical or CO2.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use dry chemical, CO2, or foam.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Oxidizer: may intensify fire and ignite combustible materials (wood, paper, oil). Containers may rupture when heated.
Protective Equipment
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Oxygen (supports combustion) and heat; pressure can build in closed or unvented containers.
Section 6
Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions
Use PPE as described in Section 8. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
Hazard-Specific Precautions
Keep away from combustible materials. Do not absorb with sawdust, paper or other combustible absorbents.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent leakage or spillage from entering drains, sewers, or waterways.
Containment & Cleanup
Absorb with inert material. Collect in appropriate waste container. Dispose per applicable regulations.
Section 7
Handling and Storage
Safe Handling
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed when not in use.
Safe Storage
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from combustible materials and heat. Keep away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Keep containers tightly closed.
Specific Storage Precautions
Store in the original vented container, cool and out of sunlight, away from combustibles, organics and metals. Never return material to the container. Use only clean, compatible equipment (high-purity aluminum, stainless steel, HDPE, glass).
