Specific Hazards: Vapors can form explosive mixtures with air, combustion releases toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and dioxide
Protective Equipment for Firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus, full protective clothing
Firefighting Instructions: Cool containers with water spray to prevent pressure build-up, evacuate area if fire risk escalates
Personal Precautions: Evacuate unnecessary personnel, use personal protective equipment to prevent exposure
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry into drains, waterways or soil, contain and absorb spill on inert material
Clean-up Methods: Collect spilled liquid using non-sparking tools, seal in properly labeled container for disposal, ventilate contaminated area
Handling: Wear protective clothing, avoid inhalation or skin contact, store in chemical-resistant containers, ground containers during transfer
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated facility away from heat sources, open flames and direct sunlight
Incompatibility: Keep away from strong oxidizers, acids, bases
Transfer Precautions: Use spark-proof tools and equipment to reduce ignition risk
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation recommended, chemical fume hood for laboratory settings
Personal Protection: Splash goggles for eyes, impervious gloves for hands, flame-retardant lab coat or coverall, safety shoes
Respiratory Protection: Organic vapor respirator needed if ventilation inadequate
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands thoroughly after handling, avoid eating, smoking or drinking before wash-up, separate contaminated clothing for cleaning

Acute Toxicity: Low oral and dermal toxicity based on animal studies, but ingestion can irritate digestive tract
Inhalation: May cause dizziness, headache, or respiratory tract irritation
Skin: Repeated skin contact can lead to dehydration, redness or rash
Eyes: Causes temporary discomfort, watering, redness
Chronic Effects: Prolonged exposure may cause dermatitis or CNS effects, no cancer risk linked so far
Sensitization: Not expected to cause allergic skin reactions
Carcinogenicity, Mutagenicity: Not listed by IARC, NTP, ACGIH or OSHA
Reproductive Effects: Not reported in available studies
Ecotoxicity: Moderately harmful to aquatic organisms due to low water solubility and high log Kow
Persistence and Degradability: Biodegradable, breaks down slowly in soil and water under aerobic conditions
Bioaccumulation: Potential bioaccumulation in aquatic food chains based on partition coefficient
Mobility in Soil: Low, tends to bind with organic matter in soil
Other Effects: Data on terrestrial toxicity limited; no known harm to birds or mammals at industrial concentrations
Waste Handling: Collect residues in sealed containers, label and handle as hazardous waste
Disposal Methods: Submit to licensed chemical waste disposal contractor, do not discharge into sewers or water bodies
Packaging: Dispose of empty containers following local, regional legislation, triple rinse if feasible
