Fire/Explosion Hazards: Container rupture from heat generates toxic fumes
Personal Precautions: Wear personal protective equipment including gloves, safety glasses, respirator if needed
Environmental Precautions: Block entry into waterways, soil, drains
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material such as sand or diatomaceous earth, collect in sealable container, ventilate area
Decontamination: Wash area with plenty of water, collect washings for disposal, avoid direct contact with spilled substance
Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid breathing vapors, avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact, keep containers tightly closed
Hygienic Practices: Wash hands after use, do not eat, drink, or smoke while using
Storage Conditions: Store in original container in cool, dry, and ventilated area away from heat sources, moisture, and incompatible substances (oxidizers, acids)
Packaging: Use corrosion-resistant, tightly sealed bottles; secure packages to prevent accidental spillage during handling
Engineering Controls: Use of local exhaust or adequate general ventilation to minimize exposure
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile, neoprene), safety goggles or face shield, protective clothing, appropriate NIOSH/MSHA-approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, forearms, and face thoroughly after handling; avoid direct contact with product and contaminated equipment
Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits; avoid repeated or prolonged exposure
