Risk category:

Invasion:

Health hazards: Some people reported only nausea and vomiting after contacting the product. No occupational poisoning has been reported. The poisoned dead animals showed diffuse lesions of liver, kidney and brain, pulmonary congestion and edema.

Environmental hazards:

Explosion hazard: The product is flammable. ^[1]

Skin contact: Remove contaminated clothing and rinse skin thoroughly with soap and water.

Eye contact: Raise eyelids and rinse with running water or saline. Seek medical attention.

Inhalation: Quickly leave the scene to fresh air. Keep your airways open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration immediately. Seek medical attention.

Ingestion: Drink plenty of warm water and induce vomiting. Seek medical attention.

Hazardous characteristics: flammable, in case of open flame, high heat or contact with oxidant, there is a danger of causing explosion. Heat releases toxic nitrogen oxide fumes.

Hazardous combustion products: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides.

Extinguishing method: Cool the container with water spray, if possible, move the container from the fire to an open area. Fire extinguishing agent: foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, sand.

Emergency treatment: Quickly evacuate personnel from the leaked contaminated area to a safe area and isolate them to strictly restrict access. Cut off the fire. It is recommended that emergency handlers wear self-contained positive-pressure respirators and antistatic work clothes. Cut off the source of the leak if possible. Prevent from flowing into restricted spaces such as sewers and flood drains. Small leaks: Absorb with sand, vermiculite or other inert materials. Large spills: build dikes or dig pits for containment. Cover with foam to reduce steam disaster. Spray water or foam cools and dilutes steam to protect field personnel. Use explosion-proof pump to transfer to tanker or special collector, recycle or transport to waste disposal place for disposal.

Precautions for operation: closed operation and full ventilation. Operators must be specially trained and strictly abide by the operating procedures. It is recommended that operators wear self-absorption filtering gas masks (half-masks), chemical safety protective glasses, antistatic work clothes, and rubber oil-resistant gloves. Away from fire and heat sources, smoking is strictly prohibited in the workplace. Use explosion-proof ventilation systems and equipment. Prevent vapors from leaking into the workplace air. Avoid contact with oxidants and reducing agents. Handle with care when handling to prevent damage to packaging and containers. Equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment. Empty containers may be harmful residues.

Storage precautions: Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 30 . Keep container tightly closed. It should be stored separately from oxidants and reducing agents. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. Prohibit the use of spark-prone machinery and tools. The storage area should be equipped with spill emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.

Note for transportation: The transportation vehicle should be equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire fighting equipment and leakage emergency treatment equipment during transportation. Summer is best to transport in the morning and evening. The tank (tank) truck used for transportation should have a grounding chain, and a hole partition can be installed in the tank to reduce vibration and generate static electricity. It is strictly forbidden to mix and transport with oxidants and reducing agents. During transportation, it should be protected from direct sunlight, rain and high temperature. Stay away from fire, heat sources, and high temperature areas during a stopover. The exhaust pipe of the vehicle carrying this item must be equipped with a fire arrester, and the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks is prohibited. When transporting by road, follow the prescribed route and do not stop in residential areas and densely populated areas. Railroad transportation is prohibited. It is strictly forbidden to use wooden ships and cement ships for bulk transportation.
