Safety and Handling

Hazard Category	Danger
Hazard Statement	GHS H Statement Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Toxic in contact with skin.
Precautionary Statement	GHS P Statement Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/ hot surfaces. No smoking. Ground/Bond container and receiving equipment. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Wear protective gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, face protection. Store locked up in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool. Keep container tightly closed. If on skin (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Wash skin with plenty of soap and water. Call a poison center/doctor if you feel unwell. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
