Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. NO contact with hot surfaces, strong bases or finely divided metals. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
no data available
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
The vapour is heavier than air. As a result of flow, agitation, etc., electrostatic charges can be generated.Decomposes on contact with hot surfaces or flames. This produces toxic and corrosive fumes of phosgene and hydrogen chloride. Decomposes on contact with strong alkali. This produces dichloroacetylene. This increases fire hazard. Reacts violently with finely divided metals. This generates fire and explosion hazard. Slowly decomposed by light in the presence of moisture. This produces corrosive hydrochloric acid.
