Under certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic substances may occur.

Closed container may rupture if strongly heated.

In case of fire cool endangered containers with water.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

Have ready/wear respiratory protection equipment and protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions in case of accidental release:

Wear suitable protective clothing. Do not breathe vapours, dust or spray mist. If respirable aersols, dust or vapour occurs use respirator with a suitable  filter

Avoid contact with the eyes: In case of accidental release safety glasses with side-shields have to be used.

Avoid contact with the skin: In case of accidental release suitable gloves have to be used. The following glove specification is a preliminary recommendation issued by Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH, Am Kreuzacker 9, D-36124 Eichenzell, www.kcl.de, which firm offers such protective gloves. The glove must be changed immediately if any changes in it occur (e.g. swelling, wear).
