Use personal protective equipment as required. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Use only with adequate ventilation and in closed systems. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of toxic/corrosive gases and vapors.
