| Specific Methods | In case of small fire/explosion use water. In case of major emergency use PPE: Fire fighters to wear Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) in confined spaces, in oxygen deficient atmospheres or if exposed to products of decomposition. Full protective clothing is also recommended. |

| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
| Emergency Procedures | M |
| Spills & Disposal | Disposal of small spillages only. For large spillages liquids should be contained using sand or earth, and both liquids and solids then transferred to salvage containers. Residues should be treated as for small spillages. CAUTION: Before dealing with spillage take necessary protective measures, inform others to keep at a safe distance and, for flammable materials, shut off all possible sources of ignition. CARE! Spillages will be very slippery. If local regulations permit, mop up with plenty of water and run to waste, diluting greatly with running water. Otherwise absorb on inert absorbent, transfer to sealed container and arrange removal by disposals company. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water. Ventilate area to dispel any residual vapours. |
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
| Precautions for Safe Handling | M |
| Conditions for Safe Storage | Store in a cool, well ventilated place, out of reach of children. Large quantities should be stored in a bunded area. Store in original container. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from naked flames and other sources of ignition. No smoking. Take precautions against static discharge. Prevent vapours from collecting in enclosed spaces. Keep away from oxidising agents. Protect from physical damage. Clean up all spills and splashes promptly; avoid secondary accidents. |
| Storage Regulations | M |
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
| Biological Limit Values | M |
| Engineering Controls | Maintain adequate ventilation at all times. In most circumstances natural ventilation systems are adequate unless the material is heated, reacted or otherwise changed in some type of chemical reaction, then the use of a local exhaust ventilation system is recommended. |
| Respiratory Protection | M |
| Eye Protection | M |
| Hand Protection | M |
| Personal Protective Equipment | Avoid contact with the skin and eyes. Avoid breathing the vapour. Personal protection to be selected from those recommended below, as appropriate to mode of use, quantity handled and degree of hazard:- Safety glasses Gloves, rubber or plastic Overalls.
