Firefighting Procedures: Approach upwind to avoid toxic vapors. Use water spray to cool containers exposed to heat. Prevent fire-extinguishing waters from entering drains or water courses.
Explosion Data: Not known to present explosion hazard at standard storage or handling temperatures.
Combustion Products: Carbon oxides, water vapor, trace volatile organics
Personal Precautions: Evacuate spill area, ventilate enclosed spaces, avoid skin and eye contact by wearing gloves and goggles.
Containment: Stop source of leakage, place absorbent material such as sand or inert powder around spill.
Cleanup Procedure: Collect residue into sealable chemical waste containers, mop area with mild detergent, rinse and remove all trace materials.
Environmental Precautions: Do not flush into drains, surface water, or soil. Notify authorities in case of large spill into environment.
Protective Measures: Use chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof goggles, and long sleeves for cleanup staff.
Handling: Use chemical splash goggles, compatible gloves, and avoid direct contact. Use in areas with good ventilation and keep containers tightly closed during transfer.
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers, acids, and bases. Keep containers tightly sealed to minimize contamination.
Incompatible Materials: Avoid contact with strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis and sources of ignition.
Storage Temperature: Preferred ambient to slightly below room temperature; avoid freezing or prolonged exposure to heat or direct sunlight.
Special Requirements: Store away from food, beverages, and animal feedstuffs.
Permissible Exposure Limit: No formal occupational exposure limit established; aim for vapor levels well below irritation threshold.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to limit vapor or mist concentrations.
Respiratory Protection: Not typically necessary except in high vapor/mist environments, where an approved organic vapor respirator may be used.
Skin Protection: Wear nitrile or neoprene gloves, long-sleeved work shirts, and trousers.
Eye Protection: Use goggles or other safety eyewear in situations likely to cause spray or splash.
Other Protective Equipment: Use chemical-resistant apron where splashes or spills are possible.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, face, and exposed skin thoroughly after handling, before eating, drinking, or smoking.
Environmental Controls: Keep all waste and contaminated water out of water supplies and sewer systems.
