Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing
Fire fighting instructions: Remove containers from fire area if possible, cool with water spray to prevent pressure build-up, avoid inhalation of vapors and fumes
Personal precautions: Evacuate the area, eliminate ignition sources, provide adequate ventilation, avoid breathing fumes, use proper protective gear
Environmental precautions: Prevent runoff into drains, surface waters or soil
Cleanup methods: Absorb with sand or non-combustible material, scoop up into suitable containers, use spark-proof tools, clean area with detergent and water, dispose waste according to local regulations
Handling: Maintain good industrial hygiene, avoid contact with skin and eyes, handle in well-ventilated area, keep container closed when not in use, ground all equipment containing product
Storage: Store in closed, labeled containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from sunlight, ignition sources, oxidizing agents and acids; keep only in original packaging; avoid overheating and direct exposure to UV light; use explosion-proof electrical systems
Exposure limits: No occupational exposure limits established specifically for this substance; monitor workplace air for total organic vapors
Engineering controls: Use local exhaust and general ventilation to minimize exposure; consider explosion-proof fans
Personal protective equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), safety goggles, face shield, impervious clothing, respiratory protection (if ventilation is inadequate); emergency eyewash stations and showers recommended
