Special Hazards: May generate irritating and toxic fumes if heated excessively; containers may rupture from pressure build-up
Protective Equipment: Firefighters use self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear
Specific Firefighting Methods: Cool containers with water spray away from fire; prevent run-off from entering drains or waterways

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety goggles, and chemical-resistant clothing; ventilate the affected area
Spill Cleanup: Contain and absorb liquid with inert material like sand or diatomaceous earth; collect waste material in appropriate container for disposal; thoroughly clean spill area with water
Environmental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage; do not allow product to enter drains, surface water, or soil
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel; notify responsible authorities as appropriate

7. Handling and Storage

Handling: Avoid breathing vapors or mist; avoid contact with eyes and skin; use only in areas with adequate ventilation; wash hands and face after handling
Safe Storage Conditions: Store in original, tightly closed containers away from heat, spark, open flames, and incompatible substances such as strong oxidizers and acids; keep containers upright and away from direct sunlight
Storage Temperature: Maintain between 5°C and 30°C for optimal stability
Incompatibles: Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, strong bases

8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
