。HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Store 2-ethylhexanoyl chloride in a cool, dry well-ventilated area to reduce the potential accumulation of toxic vapors. Keep 2-ethylhexanoyl chloride away from water, all heat and ignition sources to prevent fire or explosure.

Wear a NIOSH/ MSHA- approved, full face piece, self-contained or supplied air breathing apparatus to avoid exposure to toxic vapors. Wear goggles and gloves when handling 2-ethylhexanoyl chloride.

Transfer 2-ethylhexanoyl chloride from container to storage tank or reactor using Teflon plastic-lined or glass-lined piping,valves and pumps.
Lined metal handling systems should be electrically grounded . All piping systems must be clear and dry.

Fire fighters must wear a NIOSH/ MSHA-approved, self contained breathing apparatus.Cool drums near fire with water to prevent rupture and spread of fire.

For additional health and safety information, please refer to the MSDS.
