Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: CO2, dry chemical, foam, water spray
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet can spread burning material
Fire Hazards: Combustible liquid; vapors can form flammable mixtures with air above flash point
Special Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and chemical protective clothing
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, unidentified organic materials
Special Precautions: Remove containers from fire area if safe; cool with water to prevent pressure build-up

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Wear suitable gloves (nitrile or neoprene), eye protection, and boots
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, surface water, or soil
Containment Measures: Absorb spill with inert material like sand or earth; gather and place in a sealable container
Cleaning Methods: Wash affected area with water and detergent after material removal
Disposal of Collected Material: Dispose via licensed waste disposal contractor, refer to local and national regulations

Handling and Storage

Safe Handling Advice: Avoid skin and eye contact; use only in well-ventilated areas; avoid breathing vapor or mist
Hygiene Recommendations: Wash hands thoroughly after handling; do not eat or drink while handling
