Cleanup Methods: Absorb with inert material like sand, shovel into suitable chemical waste container, ventilate area well, dispose in accordance with local regulations
Decontamination: Wash spill site with soap solution, ventilate area, remove contaminated clothing safely
Handling: Avoid breathing dust, fumes, or vapor; handle in a chemical fume hood; wear goggles, gloves, lab coat
Storage Conditions: Store away from heat, light, and incompatible substances; keep container tightly closed in a well-ventilated place
Incompatibles: Strong acids, oxidizers, strong bases, halogenated compounds can cause reactions; keep away from ignition sources
Hygiene Practices: No eating, drinking, or smoking in work area, wash hands after handling
Exposure Limits: No established OSHA or ACGIH limits, minimize exposure to the lowest feasible
Engineering Controls: Use chemical fume hood, mechanical ventilation
Personal Protective Equipment: Impermeable gloves (nitrile, butyl rubber), chemical splash goggles, laboratory coats, face shield for large quantities, closed footwear
Respiratory Protection: NIOSH-approved respirator in absence of adequate ventilation or during large spills
