emergency response

Leakage: Quickly evacuate personnel from the contaminated area to a safe zone, isolate them, and strictly restrict their entry and exit. Cut off the fire source. It is recommended that emergency responders wear self-contained positive pressure respirators and firefighting protective clothing. Cut off the leakage source as much as possible to prevent it from entering restricted spaces such as sewers and drainage ditches.

Minor leakage: Absorb or absorb with sand or other non combustible materials. It can also be washed with a large amount of water, diluted with washing water, and placed in the wastewater system.

Massive leakage: constructing embankments or digging pits for containment; Cover with foam to reduce steam disaster. Transfer to a tanker or dedicated collector using an explosion-proof pump, and recycle or transport to a waste disposal site for disposal.

Extinguishing method: insoluble foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, water mist.

Storage method

Store in a cool and ventilated warehouse. Stay away from sources of fire and heat. The storage temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, alkali metals, amines, etc., and avoid mixing storage. Adopt explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. Prohibit the use of mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to generating sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency response equipment for leaks and suitable containment materials.
