Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet
Special Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air, combustion releases irritant fumes
Firefighter Protection: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, use standard protective clothing
Advice for Firefighters: Cool containers with water spray, prevent spread of contaminated firefighting water

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear gloves, goggles, protective clothing, avoid breathing vapors
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains or watercourses
Cleanup Methods: Contain spill, soak up with inert material, collect into container for disposal
Decontamination: Wash spill area with soap and water after material is removed
Reporting: Notify appropriate environmental authorities if large release occurs

Handling and Storage

Precautions for Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid skin and eye contact
Hygiene Practices: Wash thoroughly after handling before eating, drinking, or smoking
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated space away from sunlight, sources of ignition
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizers, acids, bases, peroxides
Container Requirements: Keep tightly closed in original container, label properly

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, closed systems, or process enclosures
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), goggles or face shield, lab coat or apron
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirator for organic vapors if ventilation is inadequate
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limit for IBOA, minimize exposure as much as possible
Environmental Exposure Controls: Avoid release to environment, use containment
