Fire-fighting measures

- Suitable extinguishing media:

Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2)

- Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.

- Advice for fire fighter: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.

Accidental release measures

- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist or vapour. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

- Environmental precautions: Avoid discharge into drains, water courses, or onto the ground.

- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

- Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spille dmaterial, where this is possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand, or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush areas with water.

- Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.

Never return spills to original containers for re-use.

Handling and storage

- Precautions for safe handling:

Exposure controls / personal protection

1. Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintin airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Eye wash facilities and emergency shower must be available when handling the product.

2. Individual protection measures

a. General information: Use personal protective equipment as required. Personal protection equipment should be chosen according to the CE standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.
