DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Highly flammable liquid and vapour. Gas/vapour flammable with air within explosion limits. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: May be ignited by sparks. May build up electrostatic charges: risk of ignition. Substance contains stabilizer against peroxidation. DIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: Gas/vapour explosive with air within explosion limits. INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: may be ignited by sparks. May form explosive peroxides. Reactions with explosion hazards: see 'Reactivity Hazard'.

Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety. Do not move the load if exposed to heat. Take account of toxic fire-fighting water.

Keep upwind. Mark the danger area. Consider evacuation. Close doors and windows of adjacent premises. Stop engines and no smoking. No naked flames or sparks. Spark- and explosionproof appliances and lighting equipment. Keep containers closed. Wash contaminated clothes.

Large spills/in enclosed spaces: self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137).

Prevent spreading in sewers.

Take up liquid spill into absorbent material, e.g.: sand, earth, vermiculite, kieselguhr, powdered limestone. Take up liquid spill into inert absorbent material. Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Do not use compressed air for pumping over spills. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Take collected spill to manufacturer/competent authority. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.

Materials: sand, earth, vermiculite, kieselguhr, powdered limestone

Use spark-/explosionproof appliances and lighting system. Take precautions against electrostatic charges. Keep away from naked flames/heat. Keep away from ignition sources/sparks. Measure the concentration in the air regularly. Work under local exhaust/ventilation. Comply with the legal requirements. Clean contaminated clothing. Before use: check for peroxides and eliminate them. Handle and open the container with care. Cool before opening. Keep container tightly closed. Handle uncleaned empty containers as full ones. Do not discharge the waste into the drain. Do not use compressed air for pumping over.

2 – 8 °C. Store in a cool area. Store in a dry area. Store in a dark area. Keep container in a well-ventilated place. Detached building. May be stored under nitrogen. May be stored under argon. Store only in a stabilised state.

Observe strict hygiene.

Use spark-/explosionproof appliances and lighting system. Take precautions against electrostatic charges. Keep away from naked flames/heat. Keep away from ignition sources/sparks. Fireproof storeroom. Provide the tank with earthing.
