Specific Hazards: Combustion might generate toxic fumes including carbon oxides.
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water spray. Stay upwind if possible.
Personal Precautions: Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid skin and eye contact. Wear gloves and safety goggles if cleaning large spill.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent runoff into drains, sewers, and watercourses. Evacuate unnecessary personnel if safe to do so.
Containment and Cleanup Methods: Absorb spill with inert material such as sand or earth; collect residue in labeled waste containers.
Decontamination: Wash spill site with detergent and water after removal.
Handling Precautions: Use with adequate ventilation, avoid vapor generation. Avoid eye and long-term skin contact. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling.
General Hygiene: Wash hands before eating or drinking. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed, original container away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers.
