Hazards from Combustion: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other hazardous fumes may form
Protective Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and chemically resistant gloves
Special Procedures: Cool exposed containers with water spray to prevent rupture
Flammability: Product not easily ignitable under normal conditions; produces dense smoke when burning
Explosion Sensitivity: None reported for normal handling
Personal Precautions: Wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection; avoid contact with skin and eyes
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering drains, surface water, or groundwater sources
Cleanup Procedures: Scoop up bulk material with shovels or mechanical means; place residue in labeled, sealable containers for proper disposal
Decontamination: Clean contaminated surfaces with industrial degreasers and water
Incident Reporting: Notify responsible authorities if significant spills enter waterways or sewers
Handling Precautions: Handle with care to avoid splashes or spills; avoid contact with eyes and skin
Storage Requirements: Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers
Container Information: Keep containers tightly closed and clearly labeled
Special Practices: Use only with adequate ventilation; do not store near foodstuffs or animal feed
Storage Temperature: Keep between 0°C and 45°C for best product stability
