Tetrahydrofuran 99.7% HPLC \u2013 Firefighting Measures<\/strong>
Extinguishing Media: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas.
Hazards Arising: No Data Available
Advice for Firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.Info for Firefighting: Use water spray to cool unopened containers.<\/p>\n

Accidental Release Measures<\/strong>
Personal Precautions: No Data Available
Enviromental Precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Method for Containment: Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local \/ national regulations.<\/p>\n

Handling and Storage<\/strong>
Personal Precautions: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Keep away from sources of ignition \u2013 No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.
Enviromental Precautions: Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Store in cool place. Dry residue is explosive. Store under inert gas. Test for peroxide formation periodically and before distillation.
