Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Advice for non-emergency personnel:
- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Advice for emergency responders:
- The product evaporates readily.
- Evacuate personnel to safe areas.
- Ventilate the area.
- Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.
- Vapours are heavier than air and can cause suffocation by reducing oxygen available for breathing.
- Cover the spreading liquid with foam in order to slow down the evaporation.
- Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
- Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions:
- Should not be released into the environment.
- Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
- Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.
- Soak up with inert absorbent material.
- Suitable material for picking up
- Earth
- Dry sand
- Shovel into suitable container for disposal.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
- Use only in well-ventilated areas.
- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
- To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat.
- Avoid skin contact with leaking liquid (danger of frostbite).
- Purge piping circuits and equipment with nitrogen.
- No sparking tools should be used.
- Use only explosion-proof equipment.
- Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.
Conditions for storage, including incompatibilities
Storage:
- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
- Keep in a well-ventilated place.
- Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
- Keep cool. Protect from sunlight.
- Keep away from combustible material.
- Keep away from Incompatible products.
- Keep only in the original container at a temperature not exceeding 50 °C.
- Provide electrical equipment safe for hazardous locations.
- Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations.
- Do not confine the product in a circuit, between closed valves, or in a container without a vent.
- Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Packaging material
Suitable material:
- Stainless steel
- Carbon steel
- Warning! Container under pressure.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control parameters
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls:
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
- Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.
Individual protection measures
Respiratory protection:
- Use respirator when performing operations involving potential exposure to vapour of the product.
- The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the maximum expected contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used.
- Remove respiratory and skin/eye protection only after vapours have been cleared from the area.
- Use only respiratory protection that conforms to international/ national standards.
Hand protection:
- Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
- Neoprene gloves
- Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).
Eye protection:
- Tightly fitting safety goggles
- Chemical resistant goggles must be worn.
- If splashes are likely to occur, wear:
- Face-shield
Skin and body protection:
- Chemical resistant apron
Hygiene measures:
- Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
- Gloves, overalls and boots have to be double layered (protection against cold temperature).
