Specific methods: Prohibit all sources of sparks and ignition - Do not smoke.
Cool containers / tanks with water spray. Ensure a system for the rapid emptying of containers. In case of fire nearby, remove exposed containers.
Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapours.
In enclosed areas : ventilate or wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (risk of anoxia). Remove all sources of ignition. Do not smoke.
Environmental precautions: Do not release into the environment.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Technical measures/Precautions:
Storage and handling precautions applicable to products: pressurised liquified gas Extremely flammable With vapours explosive in air. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery. Provide water supplies, ocular fountains and showers near the point of use. Well ventilate empty vats and tanks before entering.Provide self -contained breathing apparatus nearby (for emergency intervention).
Safe handling advice:
