Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, ventilate area, avoid dust/fume exposure, wear protective equipment including gloves and goggles
Spill Response: Absorb spill with inert material (sand, earth), transfer to suitable container for disposal, clean area with copious water while containing runoff
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so, do not allow to enter drains, sewers, or water sources
Methods for Cleaning Up: Use non-sparking tools, ventilate area, dispose of cleanup materials according to regulations
Additional Advice: Notify authorities if significant spill enters environment or public water system.
Handling: Use only with adequate ventilation, avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing, do not breathe vapor or dust, avoid ingestion, use gloves and protective eye equipment
Technical Precautions: Ground/bond containers and receiving equipment, use non-sparking tools for transfer
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, keep away from incompatible materials (strong bases, oxidizers, acids), protect from moisture, label all containers clearly
Special Requirements: Store under inert gas if necessary for long-term stability, keep away from food and beverages, limit access to trained personnel only
Other Notes: Periodically inspect storage containers for signs of leakage or degradation.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No established limits for this compound, treat as hazardous chemical
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or process enclosures, use explosion-proof equipment if handling large quantities
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, lab coat or appropriate work clothing, use respiratory protection in case of inadequate ventilation
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove contaminated clothing and clean before reuse, do not eat or drink while using this chemical
