| Hazards and Protection. | |
| Storage | Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a cool, dry place. Keep container closed when not in use. |
| Handling | Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Do not get on skin or in eyes. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. |
| Protection | Eyes: Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166. Skin: Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin exposure. Clothing: Wear a chemical apron. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent skin exposure. |
| Respirators | Wear a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved full-facepiece airline respirator in the positive pressure mode with emergency escape provisions. |
| Small spills/leaks | Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. |
| Stability | Stable under normal temperatures and pressures. |
| Incompatibilities | Reducing agents. |
| Decomposition | Oxides of sulfur, nitric oxide (NOx) and ammonia (NH3) fumes. |
| Fire. | ||||
| Fire fighting | Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials may cause a fire. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Use water with caution and in flooding amounts. May polymerize explosively when involved in a fire. Containers may explode when heated. Extinguishing media: For large fires, use water spray, fog or regular foam. For small fires, use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. | |||
| Fire potential | Slightly flammable. | |||
| Hazards | Containers may explode when heated. | |||
| Combustion products | Toxic oxides of nitrogen may form in fires. | |||

| Poison_Class | 4 |
| Exposure effects | Effects may be delayed. |
| Ingestion | May cause burns to the gastrointestinal tract. May be harmful if swallowed. May cause nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, possibly with blood. |
| Inhalation | May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause acute pulmonary edema, asphyxia, chemical pneumonitis, and upper airway obstruction caused by edema. |
| Skin | May cause severe irritation and possible burns. |
| Eyes | May cause eye irritation. May cause conjunctivitis. May cause permanent corneal opacification. |
First aid |
|
| Ingestion | Do NOT induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical aid. |
| Inhalation | Remove from exposure to fresh air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical aid if cough or other symptoms appear. DO NOT use mouth-to-mouth respiration. |
| Skin | Flush skin with plenty of soap and water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical aid if irritation develops or persists. Wash clothing before reuse. |
| Eyes | Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid. |
