Decontamination: Clean spill area with water and mild detergent, contain water used for cleaning, avoid discharge into environment
Handling Advice: Handle with care to prevent accidental release or exposure, ensure good ventilation, avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing, do not eat, drink or smoke during use
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from sources of ignition, oxidizers, and incompatible substances such as strong acids and bases
Container Requirements: Use tightly sealed, compatible containers, label containers clearly
Special Precautions: Inspect storage containers regularly for leaks or damage, store away from direct sunlight and moisture
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limits established
