Fire-fighting measures Firefighters must wear gas masks and full-body firefighting suits, extinguish the fire in the upwind direction, move the container to an open place, and spray water to cool until the fire is extinguished. Fire extinguishing agents: mist water, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, sand.
Emergency treatment Skin contact: Immediately remove contaminated clothing, rinse with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical attention; Eye contact: Immediately lift the eyelids, rinse thoroughly with plenty of running water or saline for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical attention; Inhalation: Quickly leave the scene to a fresh air, keep the airway open, give oxygen for dyspnea, immediately artificial respiration when breathing stops, and seek medical attention; Ingestion: Drink 15~30mL of vegetable oil immediately, induce vomiting, and seek medical attention.
Packaging, storage, transportation Packaging: 200kg/iron drum, 500mL/glass bottle.
Storage: Cool, ventilated warehouse, away from fire heat sources, storage temperature ≤ 35°C, keep the container sealed, store separately from oxidants, acids, alkalis, and edible chemicals, equipped with corresponding fire-fighting equipment, and prepare leakage emergency treatment equipment and containment materials in the storage area.
Transportation: Transportation according to the dangerous goods allocation table
