Special Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air, thermal decomposition releases toxic fumes (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide)
Protective Equipment: Firefighters need self-contained breathing apparatus, protective clothing
Firefighting Instructions: Stay upwind, keep containers cool by spraying with water, remove sources of ignition, prevent fire-fighting runoff from entering drains or watercourses
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ventilate space, eliminate ignition sources, avoid contact with skin and eyes
Personal Protection: Wear gloves, protective footwear, safety goggles; use respirator with organic vapor cartridge when adequate ventilation is not possible
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into sewers, surface and groundwater systems; notify authorities if large spills occur
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material (sand, vermiculite), collect spill residue in suitable container for disposal, clean contaminated area with soap and water
Disposal: Dispose of spilled material as chemical waste according to local and national regulations
Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas, keep away from flames, hot surfaces, sparks, avoid inhaling vapors and contact with skin and eyes, avoid eating, drinking, or smoking where the product is used
Storage Conditions: Store tightly closed at ambient temperature, in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated location; keep in original container, away from incompatible materials (strong oxidizers, acids), protect from direct sunlight and static discharge
Packing Materials: Use containers made of stainless steel or high-density polyethylene, tightly sealed, labeled appropriately
Storage Class: Flammable liquids
Occupational Exposure Limits: No OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV set; employers usually keep airborne concentrations low as a matter of best practice
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure, safety showers, and eyewash stations in the area
Personal Protection: Nitrile or neoprene gloves, chemical safety goggles or full face shield, flame-resistant clothing, apron, closed footwear
Respiratory Protection: Use air-purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridge when ventilation is insufficient
