| Specification: |
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Dusts at sufficient concentrations can form explosive mixtures with air. Will burn if involved in a fire. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Combustible solid.
Extinguishing Media: Use carbon dioxide or dry chemical
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage: Keep Naphthalene (CAS NO.91-20-3) away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
