Containers may explode when heated or if contaminated with water. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Flammable/toxic gases may accumulate in confined areas (basements, tanks, hopper/tank cars etc.).

In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray.

Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains.

Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.

Materials: suitable containers

Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Avoid dust formation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Use only under a chemical fume hood. Do not breathe (dust, vapor, mist, gas). Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance.

Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Remove and wash contaminated clothing and gloves, including the inside, before re-use. Wash hands before breaks and after work.

Use only under a chemical fume hood. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source
