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.
- 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 for Handling and storage and for Exposure controls/personal protection
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.
- Purge piping circuits and equipment with nitrogen.
- No sparking tools should be used.
- To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat.
- Use only explosion-proof equipment.
- Avoid skin contact with leaking liquid (danger of frostbite).
- Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.
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).
- Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately.
- Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
- When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
- Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures/Storage conditions:
- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
- Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.
- Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
- Keep away from direct sunlight.
- Keep in container fitted with safety valve or vent.
- Keep away from combustible material.
- Keep away from incompatible products
- 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 for Handling and storage and for Exposure controls/personal protection.
