Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures





General Information: As in any fire, 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. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may 

   cause pollution.

Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, 

   or chemical foam. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures





General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as 

   indicated in Section 8.

Spills/Leaks: Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable 

   disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions 

   in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. 

   Provide ventilation.



Section 7 - Handling and Storage





Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate 

   ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid 

   breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with eyes, 

   skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid 

   ingestion and inhalation.

Storage: Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, 

   well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.



Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection





Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material 

   should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower.
