Containers may explode when heated. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Do not allow run-off from fire-fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Hazardous Combustion Products Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2). Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
______
Page 3 / 10 Methyl vinyl ketone Revision Date 14-Feb-2020 ______
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors.
NFPA Health Flammability Instability Physical hazards 4 3 1 N/A
6. Accidental release measures Personal Precautions Use personal protective equipment as required. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Environmental Precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Prevent product from entering drains. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.
Methods for Containment and Clean Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Up Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
7. Handling and storage Handling Use only under a chemical fume hood. Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest. If swallowed then seek immediate medical assistance. Do not breathe mist/vapors/spray. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only non-sparking tools. To avoid ignition of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Storage Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Corrosives area. Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep refrigerated.
