4. First Aid Measures

Always seek medical attention after first aid measures are provided.

Inhalation: Remove affected person to fresh air; if normal breathing has not returned within a few minutes after exposure, get medical attention.
Skin
: Remove contaminated clothing; wash affected area with soap and water; launder contaminated clothing before reusing. Seek medical attention.
Eyes
: Immediately, flush eyes for 15 minutes in clear running water while holding eyelids open; seek medical attention immediately.
Ingestion: Drink two glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting; seek medical attention immediately.
Physician may treat symptomatically.

5. Fire Fighting Measures

General Hazards: Contact with the eyes causes immediate severe irritation of the eye and eyelids. Product will support combustion.
Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical.
Fire & Explosion Hazard: May evolve oxides of fumes along with compounds of chlorine under fire conditions.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Closed containers of can explode due to buildup of pressure when exposed to extreme heat.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Products of combustion include smoke, toxic fumes, oxides of carbon, chlorine compounds.
Extinguishing Media Not recommended: Avoid using solid water jet as it can scatter the fire.
Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. At high temperatures under fire conditions, it may produce toxic or irritating fumes.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures: Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
Environmental precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, soil, or water sources.
Methods and materials used for containment cleanup procedures and Storage: Do not inhale dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid dust formation. Contain spilled material. Cover with an inert, non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g., sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Use a shovel to put the material into a convenient waste disposal container.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling: Apply according to good manufacturing and industrial hygiene practices. Ensure proper ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Do not drink, eat, or smoke while handling. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Minimize dust generation. Avoid breathing dust/fumes/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Use individual protective equipment (waterproof boots, suitable protective clothing, safety glasses, etc.).
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources and protected from sunlight in tightly closed original container. Keep air contact to a minimum. Store protected from heat, sparks and ignition sources and incompatible materials. Avoid inhalation of dust/mist/vapor.
