• BME is incompatible with metals, oxidizing agents, acids, alkalis, calcium hypochlorite, aliphatic amines, and isocyanates.
• Purchase and use in the smallest practical quantities for the experiment being performed.
• Know the location of the nearest fire extinguisher before beginning work.
• Eliminate ignition sources such as open flames and hot surfaces.
• Keep containers closed as much as possible when not in use.
• Be aware of skin absorption as a possible route of exposure. Plan work so that minimal glove contact is expected, and purchase appropriate gloves for cleaning up small spills.
• If glove contact occurs, change gloves immediately.
