Decontamination: Wash area with detergent and water after removal of bulk liquid
Incident Response: All responders require proper PPE, ban smoking or ignition sources near spill site
Precautions in Handling: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid splashing, never eat or drink nearby, refrain from prolonged skin contact, ground containers to avoid discharge
Storage Conditions: Store in cool, dry, and well-ventilated space, away from sources of ignition, heat, or direct sunlight, maintain original packaging tightly closed
Incompatible Materials: Acids, bases, oxidizing agents, moisture which can hydrolyze silanes to ethanol
Special Requirements: Secondary containment for drums, storage below 30°C, periodic inspection for leaks
Storage Life: Stable for 12 months under recommended conditions, mark stock with receipt and expiry dates
Occupational Exposure Limits: Workplace limits for ethanol apply if hydrolysis occurs, follow country-specific OELs for similar silanes (often 10 ppm TWA)
Engineering Controls: Use local exhaust ventilation, closed handling systems, source capture for mixing or blending
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile recommended), splash-resistant goggles, long-sleeved lab coat or disposable coverall, closed-toe chemical-resistant footwear
Respiratory Protection: Suitable mask with organic vapor cartridge if airborne levels exceed exposure limits
Hygiene Measures: Wash hands before breaks and after finishing; avoid wipes with alcohol since this can increase skin absorption
Environmental Controls: Vent to scrubber or carbon adsorber before discharge, monitor for VOCs near processing points
