SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
'The material may ignite spontaneously in air. Avoid static discharge. Burning material may release
toxic fumes. In case of poor ventilation, leave the area unless fitted with a self-contained breathing apparatus.
Spill and Leak Procedures:
Small spills can be mixed with ground limestone, sodium bicarbonate, or other suitable absorbents, swept up,
and held in a closed metal can.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Store in a tightly sealed container under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon. Keep away from heat.
Handling and Storage: Material should be transferred under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen or argon in a efficient fume hood. Fire
may occur in emptied container and transfer lines.
