Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
- Avoid formation of aerosol.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion
- Do not allow to enter drains (danger of explosion).
- Use only explosion-proof equipment.
- Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
- Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.
- Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
