Advice for Responders: Fight fire from safe distance, prevent run-off water from entering drains or water courses
Personal Precautions: Use adequate ventilation, avoid dust formation, avoid breathing vapors or dust, ensure use of personal protective equipment including gloves and eye protection
Environmental Precautions: Do not let the product enter drains, surface or ground water
Spill Clean-up: Collect material mechanically, place in suitable, labelled containers for disposal, wash spill site after material pick-up is complete, dispose contaminated materials as hazardous waste
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate area, limit access until clean-up complete
Safe Handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, wash hands after handling, keep containers tightly closed when not in use, handle in well-ventilated areas
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, keep away from incompatible substances like strong oxidizers or acids, use corrosion-resistant containers with secure lids
Incompatibilities: Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, anhydrides
Storage Recommendations: Clearly label storage containers, inspect regularly for signs of leaks, degradation or cloudiness, segregate from food and drink
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limit values from OSHA, NIOSH, or ACGIH
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or fume hoods to keep airborne levels low
Personal Protective Equipment: Wear protective laboratory gloves (nitrile, neoprene), chemical splash goggles, lab coat and closed footwear
Respiratory Protection: Use approved respirator if workplace levels exceed recommended exposure or in absence of adequate ventilation
