Protective Equipment: Nitrile gloves, chemical goggles, long sleeves
Containment: Absorb spill with sand, earth, vermiculite, or inert absorbent
Cleanup Method: Collect in containers for disposal, clean surface with water, ventilate area
Environmental Precautions: Prevent liquid from entering drains, water sources, or soil
Spill Reporting: Notify proper authorities if large quantities contaminate storm drains, sewers, or local waterways
Handling: Store in original, tightly closed containers; avoid rough handling to prevent leaks; maintain distance from heat and ignition sources; use only non-sparking tools; keep away from incompatible materials such as oxidizers
Storage: Keep in cool, dry, ventilated area; do not store above 30°C; keep away from sunlight; segregate from food and beverages
Incompatibilities: Strong oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis
Special Storage Considerations: Post “No Smoking” signage, use grounded transfer equipment, maintain good housekeeping practices to reduce fire hazard
Engineering Controls: Provide general mechanical ventilation, use explosion-proof ventilators, keep dispensers securely capped
Personal Protective Equipment: Nitrile or vinyl gloves for bulk handling; safety goggles in case of splash risk; lab coat or apron for large volumes
Respiratory Protection: Not needed for routine small-scale use; use organic vapor mask in high concentrations or spill response
