First-Aid Measures

Eyes
Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops or persists.
Skin
Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops.
Inhalation
Move to fresh air if discomfort occurs.
Ingestion

Section 5

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical, or CO2. Use measures appropriate to local circumstances.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Containers may rupture when heated.
Protective Equipment
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ammonia on thermal decomposition; cyanuric acid may also form.
Section 6

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions
Wear safety glasses and gloves for cleanup. Spills can make floors slippery.
Environmental Precautions
Avoid releasing large quantities to drains or waterways.
Containment & Cleanup
Absorb or wipe up, then rinse the area with water. Dispose of according to local 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. Keep away from incompatible materials (see Section 10). Keep containers tightly closed.
Specific Storage Precautions
Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place away from incompatible materials; protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Minimize dust generation and accumulation.
Section 8
