Firefighting Instructions: Evacuate area; stay upwind; cool exposed containers with water
Personal Precautions: Ensure proper ventilation; use suitable respiratory protection and gloves; keep unnecessary personnel away from spill zone
Containment: Avoid generating dust; sweep up solid material using non-sparking tools; transfer into labeled containers for disposal
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, sewers, or water bodies; report significant releases as required by regulatory statutes
Clean-up Methods: wet down powder to prevent dust formation, collect with inert absorbent, seal waste in approved containers
Precautions for Safe Handling: Work under local exhaust ventilation; minimize dust; avoid inhaling dust or heated fumes; avoid sources of ignition
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat; keep containers tightly closed; segregate from strong oxidizing agents and acids
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, oxidizers, high-temperature surfaces
Special Sensitivity: Static discharge may ignite fine dust
