Immediate Medical Attention
Get medical advice/attention.
Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.
Water (It may scatter and spread fire.)
Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide
Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing method according to the surrounding situation is used. In case of fire in the surroundings: Keep containers cool by spraying with water. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
Firefighter Protection
When extinguishing fire, be sure to wear personal protective equipment
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ensure adequate ventilation. Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled around the leakage area by roping off, etc
In case of large amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding.
Prevent product from entering drains
Absorb spilled material in dry sand or inert absorbent before recovering it into an airtight container.
Materials: dry sand or inert absorbent

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Handling is performed in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective equipment. Prevent generation of vapour or mist. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surfaces. -No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge. Use explosion-proof equipment. Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling. Use a closed system if possible. Use a ventilation, local exhaust if vapour or aerosol will be generated. Avoid all contact! Confirm in advance if peroxides exist when operations involving heating such as distillation are carried out.
Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dark and well-ventilated place. Store locked up.
Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.
Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surfaces. -No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Install a closed system or local exhaust.
