ACUTE HAZARDS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING | |
---|---|---|---|
FIRE & EXPLOSION | Highly flammable. Many reactions may cause fire or explosion. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Closed system, ventilation, explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Use non-sparking handtools. | Use powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
STRICT HYGIENE! IN ALL CASES CONSULT A DOCTOR! | |||

NOTES |
---|
An added stabilizer or inhibitor can influence the toxicological properties of this substance, consult an expert. The odour warning when the exposure limit value is exceeded is insufficient. Do NOT use in the vicinity of a fire or a hot surface, or during welding. Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found. Inhibitors such as hydroquinone or phenothiazine are generally added when it is to be stored. Do NOT take working clothes home. |
