Specific Hazards: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air; fire can produce irritating, corrosive, and toxic gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and acrolein
Protective Equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Special Procedures: Keep containers cool by spraying with water; avoid inhaling fumes; remove containers from fire area if safe
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area; ensure adequate ventilation; avoid breathing vapors; keep unauthorized personnel away
Protective Equipment: Chemical splash goggles, nitrile gloves, impervious apron, approved respirator in confined spaces
Environmental Precautions: Prevent spillage from entering drains, soil, or watercourses
Containment/Clean-Up: Absorb with inert materials like sand or vermiculite; collect in containers for proper disposal; ventilate the area; wash spill site after clean-up is complete; dispose according to regulatory requirements
Safe Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas; avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing; avoid inhaling vapors or mists; ground and bond all containers when transferring
