Advice on Safe Handling

  • Ensure adequate ventilation. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors

Advice on Protection Against Fire and Explosion

  • Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Do not allow to enter drains (danger of explosion). Take precautionary measures against static discharges
  • Temperature class : T2

Fire-fighting Class

  • B: Fires involving liquids or liquid containing substances. Also includes substances which become liquid at elevated temperatures.
