Fire fighting methods

Move the container from the fire to the open space as much as possible. Spray water to keep the fire container cool until the end of the fire.

Dangerous characteristics

It is flammable, and its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture. In case of fire, high heat, it will cause fire and explosion. Contact with oxidant reacts violently. Its vapor is heavier than air and can spread to a relatively distant place at a lower place. It will ignite and ignite in case of fire.

Health hazard: anesthetic and irritating effects. Contact with this product vapor causes eye burning, tearing, progressive dyspnea, headache, dizziness, palpitations, depression, central nervous system depression. Methanol produced by its decomposition can cause vision loss, optic atrophy and the like.

Emergency handling of spills: Rapid evacuation of personnel to safe areas and isolation. Cut off the fire source. It is recommended that emergency personnel wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus and wear anti-static overalls. Cut off the source of the leak as much as possible. Prevent entry into restricted spaces such as sewers and flood drains. Small amount of leakage: absorbed with activated carbon or other inert materials. A large number of leaks: building a dike or digging a pit. Cover with foam to reduce steam hazards. Transfer to a tank truck or special collector with an explosion-proof pump, recycle or transport to a waste disposal site for disposal.

Storage and transportation precautions: Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. The temperature of the reservoir should not exceed 30 °C. Keep the container sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants, acids and alkalis, and should not be mixed. Explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities are used. It is forbidden to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with leakage emergency treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
