Advice for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Move containers from fire if it can be done safely.
Special Procedures: Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Prevent run-off from entering drains or watercourses.
Personal Precautions: Wear protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and appropriate clothing to minimize skin and eye contact. Ventilate area.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering sewers, drains, or natural waterways. Collect spillages for disposal.
Methods for Cleanup: Soak up with inert absorbent material like sand or vermiculite. Store collected material in a properly labeled container.
Decontamination: Clean affected area with plenty of water. Avoid ignition sources.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Avoid inhalation and skin contact. Operate in well-ventilated areas. Use local exhaust if necessary. Do not eat, drink, or smoke during use.
Conditions for Safe Storage: Store containers tightly closed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Protect from direct sunlight.
Storage Stability: Maintain container integrity to prevent contamination. Regularly inspect storage for leaks.
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits for PPG-14 Butyl Ether. General dust and vapor standards apply.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust or dilution ventilation to maintain concentrations below exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Gloves made of nitrile or neoprene, chemical-resistant goggles, lab coat or apron, and face shield if splashing is likely.
Respiratory Protection: Use approved particulate respirators if ventilation is inadequate.
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after handling, remove contaminated clothing after work.
