Hazards and protection. | |
| Storage | Keep tightly closed in a cool place in a tightly closed container. |
| Handling | Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. All five gallon pails and larger metal containers including tank cars and tank trucks should be grounded and/or bonded when material is transferred. |
| Protection | Wear appropriate protective gloves, clothing and goggles. |
| Respirators | Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). |
| Small spills or leaks | Make no contact with the spilled material. ELIMINATE all ignition sources and ground all equipment. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. |
| Stability | Stable. |
| Incompatibilities | Strong oxidizing agents. |
| Hazardous Decomposition | Oxides of carbon, various hydrocarbons. |

| Fire fighting | xtinguish fire using regular foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical. Water or foam may cause frothing which can be violent and possibly endanger the life of the firefighter. Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment. | |||
| Fire potential | HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. | |||
| Hazards | Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. | |||
| Combustion products | Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. | |||

Exposure effects | |
| The toxological properties of this substance have not been fully investigated. | |
| Ingestion | Swallowing small amounts of this material during normal handling is not likely to cause harmful effects. Swallowing large amounts may be harmful. This material can enter the lungs during swallowing or vomiting and cause lung inflammation and/or damage. |
| Inhalation | Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation. May cause irritation or burns. |
| Skin | May cause mild skin irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact may dry the skin. Symptoms may include redness, buring, drying and cracking of skin, and skin burns. |
| Eyes | Can cause eye irritation. Symptoms include stinging, tearing, redness, and swelling of eyes. Additional symptoms of eye exposure may include: blurred vision. |
| First aid | |
| Ingestion | Seek medical assistance. |
| Inhalation | Move victim to fresh air. Apply artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. |
| Skin | Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. Wash skin with soap and water. Flush with running water for at least 20 minutes |
| Eyes | Flush with running water for at least 20 minutes. |
