Protective Equipment: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing required for fire-fighting
Special Precautions: Move containers from fire area if safe to do so, use water spray to cool nearby containers
Advice for Firefighters: Avoid inhaling vapors or combustion products, evacuate surrounding area if necessary
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and protective clothing, ensure adequate ventilation, avoid contact with skin and eyes
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, sewers, or waterways, contain spillage using earth, sand, or inert absorbent
Methods for Clean-Up: Absorb with inert material (e.g., sand, diatomaceous earth), collect in suitable containers for disposal, clean spill site with water and detergent, ventilate area
Additional Advice: Notify authorities if significant releases occur or environmental contamination is possible
Safe Handling: Use well-ventilated areas, wear appropriate protective gear, avoid inhalation of vapors, avoid skin and eye contact, keep away from food and drinks
Storage Requirements: Store tightly closed in original container, in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers or acids
Further Preventive Measures: Keep separate from strong acids, peroxides, oxidizing agents, and strong bases, use only non-sparking tools, implement good personal hygiene
Specific End Uses: Refer to supplier instructions for any restrictions or special requirements
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established ACGIH or OSHA exposure limits for this compound; keep exposures as low as reasonably achievable
