Notes to Physician:
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. Exposure to heat may promote violent decomposition. Violently decomposes when heated under confinement. Containers may explode if exposed to fire. Risk of explosion if heated under confinement.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Use a spark-proof tool. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
Handling: Contents may develop pressure upon prolonged storage. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Store protected from light. Use and store under nitrogen. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep away from heat and flame. Material is heat sensitive.
Storage: Keep away from heat and flame. Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a dry area. Keep refrigerated. (Store below 4°C/39°F.) Heat can cause thermal decomposition and pressure build-up inside containers.
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 general or local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to acceptable levels.
