Notes to Physician

SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media Suitable Extinguishing Media Substance is nonflammable; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.. Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons No information available. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Non-combustible. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Advice for fire-fighters As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Environmental precautions Should not be released into the environment. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal. Avoid dust formation.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for Safe Handling Wear personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Corrosives area.
