**** 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.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT get water inside containers.
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.
**** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
****
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as
indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions
in the Protective Equipment section.
Sweep up or absorb material, then place into a
suitable clean, dry, closed container for disposal.
Provide ventilation. Place
under an inert atmosphere. Do not get water inside containers.
**** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE ****
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate
ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes,
skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Handle under an
inert atmosphere. Store protected from
air. Do not allow contact with water. Keep from
contact with moist air and steam.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated
area away from incompatible substances. Do not expose
to air. Store protected from moisture. Store under
an inert atmosphere. Store
under argon.
**** 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. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
