Special Instructions: Isolate hazard area, use water spray to cool surrounding containers to prevent pressure build up
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, suitable eye protection, and laboratory coat; evacuate unnecessary personnel
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to waterways, drains, or soil; report major spills to authorities
Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material like sand or diatomaceous earth, place in suitable chemical waste container, ventilate area
Decontamination: Wash spill area with detergent and water after removal of bulk chemical
Handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes, prevent inhalation of vapors or dust, use only in well-ventilated areas, keep away from ignition sources
Storage Conditions: Store in tightly closed containers, keep in a cool, dry and well-ventilated location, segregate from oxidizers and incompatible materials
Technical Measures: Use spill trays, secondary containment where possible, ground or bond container and equipment to prevent static discharge
Hygiene: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, remove contaminated clothing before entering eating areas
Engineering Controls: Use fume hood or adequate ventilation, safety shower and eye wash stations should be readily available
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile or chemical-resistant gloves, splash-proof safety goggles, lab coat or apron, appropriate respirator if ventilation is inadequate
Exposure Limits: No occupational exposure limit established for this compound by OSHA, ACGIH, or other agencies
