KEEP WORK AREAS FREE OF HOT METAL SURFACES AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION.
USE FOAM, CO2, OR DRY CHEMICAL FIRE FIGHTING APPARATUS.
THE USE OF SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS IS RECOMMENDED FOR FIRE FIGHTERS. WATER MAY BE UNSUITABLE AS AN EXTINGUISHING AGENT, BUT HELPFUL IN KEEPING ADJACENT CONTAINERS COOL. AVOID SPREADING BURNING LIQUID WITH WATER USED FOR COOLING.
KEEP SOURCES OF IGNITION AND HOT METAL SURFACES ISOLATED FROM THE SPILL. FLUSH SPILLED MATERIAL INTO SUITABLE RETAINING AREAS OR CON- TAINERS WITH LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER. SMALL AMOUNTS OF SPILLED MATERIAL MAY BE ABSORBED INTO AN APPROPRIATE ABSORBENT.

GENERAL MECHANICAL VENTILATION MAY BE SUFFICIENT TO KEEP PRODUCT VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS WITHIN SPECIFIED TIME-WEIGHTED TLV RANGES. IF GENERAL VENTILATION PROVES INADEQUATE TO MAINTAIN SAFE VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS, SUPPLEMENTAL LOCAL EXHAUST MAY BE REQUIRED. OTHER SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS SUCH AS RESPIRATORY MASKS OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAINMENT DEVISES MAY BE REQUIRED IN EXTREME CASES.
THE USE OF RESPIRATORY PROTECTION DEPENDS ON VAPOR CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE THE TIME-WEIGHTED TLV: USE AN NIOSH APPROVED CARTRIDGE RESPIR- ATOR OR GAS MASK.
THE USE OF IMPERMEABLE GLOVES ADVISED TO PREVENT SKIN IRRITATION IN SENSITIVE INDIVIDUALS.
