4. First-aid measures Inhalation
If breathing is difficult, remove to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persist.
Skin contact Rinse skin with water/shower. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Eye contact Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Ingestion Rinse mouth. If ingestion of a large amount does occur, call a poison control center immediately. Most importantly Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation.

General information
5. Fire-fighting measures
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
Suitable extinguishing media Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Unsuitable extinguishing media Do not use a water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Specific hazards arising from fire, and gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Special protective equipment Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. and precautions for firefighters
Fire fighting Move containers from the fire area if you can do so without risk. equipment/instructions
Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. General fire hazards No unusual fire or explosion hazards were noted.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. equipment and emergency procedures. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up.
Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Following product recovery, flush area with water. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling Avoid prolonged exposure. Use care in handling/storage.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in the original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Occupational exposure limits
US. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values
Material Type Value
Hafnium Nitride (CAS TWA 0.5 mg/m3 25817-87-2)
US. NIOSH: Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards
Material Type Value
Hafnium Nitride (CAS TWA 0.5 mg/m3 25817-87-2)
Biological limit values No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering controls
Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Control parameters Follow standard monitoring procedures.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Other Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene considerations
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
