Hazardous characteristics: flammable, its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture. In case of high heat and open flame, it can cause combustion and explosion. It can react strongly with oxidants. In the fire scene, the heated container is in danger of explosion.
combustion (decomposition) products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Stay away from fire and heat sources. The reservoir temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from the oxidant and should not be mixed. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are adopted. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to spark. The storage area shall be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable storage materials.
Invasive route: inhalation, ingestion, percutaneous absorption.
Inhalation of 8100mg/m3 in rats caused mild tremor, ataxia and eye irritation. No one's information.
Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse skin thoroughly with soapy water and clear water.
Eye contact: Lift the eyelids and rinse with flowing water or saline. Medical treatment.
Inhalation: Quickly leave the site to fresh air. Keep airway open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, perform artificial respiration immediately. Medical treatment.
Ingestion: Drink enough water to induce vomiting. Medical treatment. Fire extinguishing method: Move the container from the fire site to the open area as much as possible.
Fire extinguishing agent: foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder, sand. Fire extinguishing with water is not effective, but the fire container must be cooled with water. Protect firefighters with mist water and block escape liquid with sand
