Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing to avoid contact with skin and eyes
Advice: Move containers away from fire zone if safe to do so, contain runoff to prevent environmental contamination
Personal Precautions: Use gloves, lab coat, protective eyewear, avoid breathing dust, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent release to soil and waterways, collect spillage swiftly
Cleanup Methods: Sweep up and transfer to suitable waste container, wipe surfaces with moist absorbent material, wash area thoroughly, avoid generating dust
Handling: Use only with adequate ventilation, avoid inhalation and skin contact, work with minimum quantities needed, keep away from food, do not eat or drink in area
Storage: Store in tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, protect from light, keep out of reach of unauthorized users, label containers correctly, avoid temperatures above 30°C
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, avoid moisture
Engineering Controls: Work under chemical fume hood, use ventilation to minimize airborne concentrations
