Fire-fighting measures

Its vapor is heavier than air and can spread to a considerable distance in a lower place, and will ignite when it encounters a fire source. Use alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry powder, sand to extinguish the fire. Water extinguishing is ineffective, but water can be used to keep the containers in the fire scene cool.

Emergency treatment

Can cause anesthesia at high concentrations

Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing, rinse skin thoroughly with soap and water, and seek medical attention.

Eye contact: Lift the eyelid immediately, rinse thoroughly with plenty of running water or saline for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical attention.

Inhalation: quickly leave the scene to a place with fresh air. Keep the airway open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen and seek medical attention.

Ingestion: Drink enough warm water to induce vomiting.
