Fire-Fighting Procedures: Isolate fire, use water spray to cool containers, prevent runoff
Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent the material from entering drains, sewers, or waterways
Containment Methods: Absorb spills with sand, earth, or inert absorbent, dispose in line with regulations
Cleanup Methods: Ventilate the area, clean up residues with appropriate cleaning agents
Handling: Use in ventilated areas, avoid contact with skin and eyes, ground all equipment, keep away from sources of ignition
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep away from oxidizers, acids, and bases, protect from sunlight
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, safety showers, and eye-wash stations
Personal Protection: Nitrile gloves, chemical safety glasses, flame-resistant lab coats
Respiratory Protection: Use respiratory protection if vapor concentrations exceed exposure limits
