Special Hazards: Can form flammable vapors, combustion may release carbon oxides and irritating fumes
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Advice: Cool containers with water spray to prevent pressure build-up.
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, wear chemical resistant gloves and goggles, remove ignition sources
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff to waterways and soil, contain spill immediately
Methods for Cleanup: Use inert absorbent material like sand, place in proper waste container, ventilate area, wash spill site after cleanup.
Handling: Use in well-ventilated places, keep containers tightly closed, avoid contact with skin and eyes, ground equipment to prevent static discharge
Storage: Store in cool, dry, and ventilated areas away from sunlight and incompatibles (acids, oxidizers), keep away from ignition sources, use containers made of suitable materials like stainless steel or glass.
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended
Personal Protective Equipment: Safety goggles, chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), long sleeve clothing
