[Fire Fighting]

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Extinguishing media: Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.
[Fire Potential]

This material is probably combustible.
[Ingestion]

If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Get medical aid immediately.
[Inhalation]

Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
[Skin]

Get medical aid. Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes.
[Eyes]

Flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid immediately.
[Storage]

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use.
[Handling]

Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
[EC Safety Phrase]

S 22 24/25
[Personal Protection]

Eyes: Wear chemical goggles. Skin: Wear appropriate protective gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin.
[Respirators]

A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.

[Incompatibilities]

Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination with azo, diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, nitrides, and strong reducing agents Can react with air to give first peroxo acids, and ultimately carboxylic acids Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products.
[Stability]

Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
[Decomposition]

Irritating and toxic fumes and gases.
