General Description
Light yellow to orange solid with a mild odor. Sinks in water. (USCG, 1999)
Hazards
Reactivity Alerts
none
Air & Water Reactions
No rapid reaction with air. No rapid reaction with water.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating oxides of sulfur and nitrogen are formed in fire.
Behavior in Fire: Decomposes vigorously in a self-sustaining reaction at or above 225°C (USCG, 1999)
Health Hazard
Dust irritates eyes. Other forms of exposure produce no observable symptoms. (USCG, 1999)

Response Recommendations
Isolation and Evacuation
Excerpt from 171
[Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:
IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE: Isolate spill or leak area in all directions for at least 50 meters (150 feet) for liquids and at least 25 meters (75 feet) for solids.
SPILL: Increase the immediate precautionary measure distance, in the downwind direction, as necessary.
FIRE: If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. (ERG, 2020)
Firefighting
Fire Extinguishing Agents: Water (USCG, 1999)
Non-Fire Response
Excerpt from 171
[Substances (Low to Moderate Hazard)]:
Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent dust cloud. For Asbestos, avoid inhalation of dust. Cover spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Do not clean up or dispose of, except under supervision of a specialist.
SMALL DRY SPILL: With clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area.
SMALL SPILL: Pick up with sand or other non-combustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal.
LARGE SPILL: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. (ERG, 2020)
Protective Clothing
Dust mask; rubber gloves. (USCG, 1999)

First Aid
No cases of clinical toxicity on record. Supportive and symptomatic medical treatment recommended if massive overexposure occurs.
EYES: flush with water if irritation occurs.
SKIN: wash with soap and water.
INGESTION: induce vomiting. (USCG, 1999)
