Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam. Use fire extinguishing methods suitable to surrounding conditions.

- Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Water with full jet

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Formation of toxic gases is possible during heating or in case of fire.

In case of fire, the following can be released:

Carbon monoxide

Carbon dioxide

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Sulphur oxides (SOx)

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN)

- Advice for fire fighter:

Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.

·Additional information: Cool endangered receptacles with water spray.

Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter the sewage system.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions:

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.

Avoid formation of dust.

Keep away from ignition sources.

- Protective equipment and emergency procedures:

- Environmental precautions:

Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.

Exposure controls / personal protection

1. Technical protection measures

Control parameters: Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:

The product does not contain any relevant quantities of materials with critical values that have to be

monitored at the workplace.

2. Organisational protection measures: Personal protective equipment:

· General protective and hygienic measures:

Do not eat, drink, smoke or sniff while working.

Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.

Store protective clothing separately.

The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.

3. Hand protection: Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III.

The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.

Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the

degradation.

· Material of gloves

Nitrile rubber, NBR (≥ 0.11 mm)

The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality

and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.

· Penetration time of glove material

The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be

observed.

≥ 8 h

4. Feet protection: Protective work clothing

5. Body protection: Protective work clothing

6. Eye protection: Safety glasses

7. Respiratory protection: Not necessary if room is well-ventilated.
