Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear suitable protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ensure adequate ventilation. Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled around the leakage area by roping off, etc.
Environmental precautions
Should not be released into the environment.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect as much of the spill as possible with a suitable absorbent material.
Handling
Technical measuresPrevent generation of vapor or mist. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use explosion-proof equipment.
Local/Total ventilation
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle product only in closed system or provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Use a local exhaust ventilation.
Advice on safe handling
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wear personal protective equipment. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Do not subject to grinding, shock or friction. Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.
Avoidance of contact
Oxidizing agents, Strong acids
Storage
Conditions for safe storageKeep container tightly closed. Store in a cool and shaded area. Keep in a well-ventilated place. Use explosion-proof equipment. Store locked up.
