[Fire Fighting]

Use water in flooding quantities as fog. Solid streams of water may spread fire. Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Keep run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water. Apply water from as far a distance as possible.
[Fire Potential]

Self-decomposition or self-ignition may be triggered by heat, chemical reaction, friction or impact.
[Ingestion]

Seek medical assistance.
[Inhalation]

Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult.
[Skin]

Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove material from skin immediately. Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes.
[Eyes]

Immediately flush with running water for at least 20 minutes.
[Storage]

Store in a cool dry location. Vent periodically.
[Handling]

All chemicals should be considered hazardous. Avoid direct physical contact. Use appropriate, approved safety equipment. Untrained individuals should not handle this chemical or its container. Handling should occur in a chemical fume hood.
[Inhalation]

Irritation, nausea, headache, vomiting. May cause severe injury or death.
[Skin]

See Inhalation.
[Eyes]

See Inhalation.
[Ingestion]

See inhalation
[Hazards]

May be ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May burn violently. Decomposition may be self-accelerating and produce large amounts of gases. Vapors or dust may form explosive mixtures with air.
