Storage method

Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. The storage temperature should not exceed 29℃. Keep the container sealed. Should be stored separately from oxidizer, do not mix storage. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are adopted. Do not use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to spark. The storage area should be equipped with leak emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.

Leakage emergency treatment

Quickly evacuate the personnel from the contaminated area to the safety zone, isolate them, and strictly restrict access. Cut off the fire. Emergency personnel are advised to wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and fire protective clothing. Cut off the source of leakage as much as possible. Prevent access to restricted Spaces such as sewers and flood drains.

Small amount of leakage: adsorption or absorption with sand or other non-combustible materials. It is also possible to scrub with an emulsion made of a non-combustible dispersant, which is diluted and placed in the wastewater system.

A large number of leaks: build a embankment or dig a pit to contain; Cover with foam to reduce steam hazards. Transfer to a tank truck or special collector with an explosion-proof pump for recycling or transport to a waste disposal site.
