Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, alcohol-resistant foam
Unsuitable Media: Direct water jet may spread burning material
Special Hazards: May emit toxic fumes under combustion including hydrogen chloride, phosgene, nitrogen oxides, and carbon monoxide
Advice for Firefighters: Use self-contained breathing apparatus and fully protective gear, keep containers cool by spraying with water, prevent fire-fighting runoff from entering waterways
Specific Fire Risks: Potential for explosive vapor-air mixtures in confined locations

Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, ensure adequate ventilation, use respiratory protection, avoid skin and eye contact with spilled material
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses, alert environmental authorities if contamination occurs
Methods for Clean-up: Absorb with inert material such as sand or earth, sweep or shovel into tightly sealed containers, label and store for disposal, clean contaminated surface with detergent, avoid generation of airborne dust
Special Spill Instructions: Use only spark-proof tools during clean-up, remove ignition sources

Handling and Storage

Handling: Use personal protective equipment, minimize vapor and dust generation, avoid breathing vapors, do not eat, drink, or smoke during use, wash hands after handling
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances, keep container tightly closed, protect from heat sources and sunlight, segregate from oxidizers, acids, and bases
Incompatible Materials: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, bases, reducing agents
Engineering Controls: Local exhaust ventilation, safety showers, eyewash stations nearby

Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure Limits: No established occupational exposure limits, follow best industrial hygiene standards and use preventive measures
Engineering Controls: Enclosed process systems, local exhaust ventilation, fume hoods
Personal Protective Equipment: Chemical-resistant gloves, flame-retardant or chemical-resistant clothing, safety goggles or face shield, approved respirators in settings with inadequate ventilation
Hygiene Measures: Remove contaminated clothing, wash before reuse, maintain good housekeeping standards
Environmental Controls: Prevent leaks or releases to the environment using secondary containment and spill response kits
