Safety Precautions

FLAMMABLE MATERIAL - Professional handling required. Class 3 flammable liquid requiring comprehensive ventilation systems and explosion-proof equipment. Store in cool, well-ventilated areas below 77°F (25°C). Mandatory PPE includes chemical-resistant gloves (butyl rubber or Viton®, minimum 0.3mm thickness), splash-proof chemical goggles, organic vapor respirator with appropriate cartridges, and flame-resistant laboratory coat. Work only under functioning fume hoods with face velocity of 80-120 ft/min. Maintain exposure levels below OSHA PEL of 400 ppm TWA. Ensure proper grounding and bonding procedures for transfer operations. Keep away from oxidizers, acids, bases, and ignition sources. Install emergency eyewash stations and safety showers in handling areas. Follow all laboratory safety protocols for handling flammable solvents and maintain proper fire suppression equipment. Utilize only compatible materials for transfer and storage including borosilicate glass or high-purity solvent containers.
