Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes, remove contact lenses, avoid rubbing eyes, seek medical help if irritation continues
Ingestion: Give water to drink, do not induce vomiting, get medical advice if large amounts are swallowed
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jets may scatter powder
Special Hazards: Dust generates flammable mixtures, may decompose into irritating gases like carbon monoxide and aldehydes in fire
Protective Equipment: Full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus
Personal Precautions: Avoid dust formation, use PPE, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Keep out of sewers and waterways, avoid releasing powder in large quantities outdoors
Cleanup Methods: Pick up with vacuum or wet sweeping, avoid dry sweeping, transfer to clearly labeled containers, wash area with plenty of water
Handling: Minimize dust, use local exhaust, ground all equipment, avoid eating or smoking nearby, wash hands after use
Storage Conditions: Store in original, tightly closed container in dry, cool, ventilated area, keep away from ignition sources, separate from oxidizing agents and foodstuffs
Exposure Limits: Not established for dipentaerythritol, control dust below 10 mg/m³ (as nuisance dust)
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust, general ventilation
Personal Protection: Safety goggles, dust respirator (N95 or better), chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, wash thoroughly after handling
