Personal Precautions: Evacuate area. Avoid breathing vapors. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental Precautions: Prevent from entering drains or waterways.
Methods for Cleanup: Absorb with inert material such as dry sand or earth. Scoop into suitable container for disposal. Ventilate area and wash spill site after material pickup is complete.
Handling: Use in well-ventilated area. Ground and bond containers when transferring liquid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing.
Storage: Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Keep away from ignition sources, oxidizing agents, acids.
Occupational Exposure Limits: No specific limits established for 2-Octanone
Engineering Controls: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
Personal Protection: Chemical-resistant gloves (nitrile or neoprene), splash goggles, flame-retardant lab coat. In case of insufficient ventilation, use suitable respiratory protection.
