Fire-fighting measures Cut off the fire source. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and fire protective clothing. Cut off the source of leakage as much as possible. Prevent entry into restricted spaces such as sewers and flood drains. Small leakage: Use activated carbon or other inert materials to absorb. Extinguishing agent: foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder, sand. Spray water to cool the container, and move the container from the fire scene to an open place if possible.
Emergency treatment Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Eye contact: Lift the eyelid and rinse with running water or normal saline. Seek medical attention. Inhalation: Quickly leave the scene to a place with fresh air and keep the respiratory tract unobstructed. If breathing stops, give artificial respiration immediately and seek medical attention. Ingestion: Drink enough warm water, induce vomiting, and seek medical attention.
Packaging, storage, transportation Packed in paint or galvanized drums of 160-170kg/drum, stored in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The temperature in the warehouse should not exceed 30°C. Prevent direct sunlight. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The use of mechanical equipment and tools that generate sparks is prohibited. There is a grounding device to prevent static electricity from accumulating. Use professional dangerous goods vehicles for transportation.
