Personal Precautions: Evacuate area; ventilate space; keep away unprotected persons
Emergency Procedures: Eliminate all ignition sources; keep containers cool with water spray
Environmental Precautions: Prevent product from entering waterways, drains, or sewers
Containment: Stop leak if safe; absorb with sand, earth, or inert materials
Cleanup Methods: Pick up with non-sparking tools; place residues in sealable containers; ventilate area after cleanup
Decontamination: Wash spill site with lots of water after material removal
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin, clothing; use only in fume hood or well-ventilated space; ground containers during transfer
Storage: Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area; keep away from sources of ignition, oxidizers, acids
