Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, foam. Water spray may be less effective but may be used to cool containers.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: High-pressure water streams could spread liquid.
Hazards from the Substance: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air when heated. Burning may produce bromine compounds, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and irritating fumes.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full protective clothing. Stay upwind and keep out of low areas.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Dike runoff to prevent entry into waterways. Prevent contamination of drainage and sewers. Remove containers from fire area if it can be done safely.
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment: Use chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear respiratory protection.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe. Avoid entering drains, surface, or groundwater. Notify authorities if a large spill enters water sources or soil.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Contain spillage, soak up with inert absorbent material (sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite). Scoop up and store in suitable, labeled disposal containers. Wash spill area with water and detergent, avoiding runoff to sewers.
Spill Handling: Use non-sparking tools. Remove all ignition sources. Ensure proper ventilation in closed spaces.
Precautions for Safe Handling: Keep container tightly closed. Handle with care to avoid spills and minimize dust or vapor formation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling the chemical.
Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Incompatibilities: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Protect from moisture, heat, and ignition sources. Separate from strong oxidizers, acids, alkalis, and reducing agents. Keep in original container and avoid plastic or aluminum if unsure of compatibility.
Specific Storage Requirements: Avoid storage temperatures above 25°C for extended times. Store away from food and beverages. Ensure containers remain labeled and sealed. Inspect regularly for leaks.
Control Parameters: Occupational exposure limits have not been established. Maintain airborne levels as low as possible.
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation or work in a certified fume hood. Handle only in areas with adequate ventilation.
Individual Protection Measures: Wear chemical splash goggles and face shield for eye protection. Gloves of appropriate material (nitrile or neoprene) provide skin protection. Wear chemically resistant lab coat, coveralls, or apron to prevent contact.
Respiratory Protection: If ventilation is inadequate, use NIOSH-approved respirator suitable for organic vapors. Emergency respiratory protection available in high exposure scenarios.
Environmental Exposure Controls: Implement procedures to limit emissions to air and prevent release to the environment.
