P Codes (Precautionary Statements)
-
P260: Do not breathe vapors.
-
P280: Wear protective gloves, clothing, and eye/face protection.
-
P301 + P330 + P331: IF SWALLOWED: Rinse mouth. Do NOT induce vomiting.
-
P303 + P361 + P353: IF ON SKIN (or hair): Remove immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower.
-
P305 + P351 + P338: IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do – continue rinsing.

P273: Avoid release into the environment.
Storage Conditions
-
Store in sealed containers under dry, inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen).
-
Keep in a cool, well-ventilated area away from moisture.
-
Avoid any contact with water, alcohols, or humid air, which can cause violent reactions.
-
Use corrosion-resistant containers such as glass or Teflon-lined vessels.
Shelf Life
-
12 months in original sealed container under inert conditions.
-
Reactivity with moisture or air significantly reduces shelf life if improperly stored.
