If in laboratory setting, follow laboratory fire suppression procedures. Use appropriate fire suppression agents for adjacent combustible materials or sources of ignition. Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).

Combustion products may include carbon oxides or other toxic vapors. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.

Move product containers away from fire or keep cool with water spray as a protective measure, where feasible.

If in a laboratory setting, follow Chemical Hygiene Plan procedures.

Small quantities may be flushed to drains with plenty of water.

Prevent from reaching drains, sewer or waterway. Collect contaminated soil for characterization per Section 13. Small quantities may be flushed to drains with plenty of water.

Collect liquids using vacuum or by use of absorbents. Place into properly labeled containers for recovery or disposal.

Materials: absorbents

Wash hands after handling. Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials. Use only in well ventilated areas. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.

Provide ventilation for containers. Store away from foodstuffs. Store away from oxidizing agents. Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed containers. Keep container tightly sealed. Protect from freezing and physical damage.

Wash hands after handling. Follow good hygiene procedures when handling chemical materials.

Avoid storage near extreme heat, ignition sources or open flame.

Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use/handling. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor or dusts (total/respirable) below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above. Use under a fume hood.

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation being used/handled. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.

Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.

Use suitable respiratory protective device when high concentrations are present. For spills, respiratory protection may be advisable. Normal ventilation is adequate.

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation being used/handled. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.

No decomposition if used and stored according to specifications.

Nonreactive under normal conditions.

None under normal processing.

exposure to light. Incompatible Materials.

Strong acids. Strong bases. Strong oxidizers.

Hydrogen iodide. Iodine gas. May include oxides of iodine.

Product/containers must not be disposed together with household garbage. Small amounts may be flushed with water to sewer. Larger volumes must be sent to approved plant for destruction.
