Fire-fighting measures
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Fire can be extinguished using: Water spray, fog or mist. Foam, carbon dioxide or dry powder.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Standard procedure for chemical fires
UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARDS
FLAMMABLE.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS
In case of fire, toxic gases may be formed.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES IN FIRE
Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Accidental release measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Warn everybody of potential hazards and evacuate if necessary. Extinguish all ignition sources. Avoid sparks, flames, heat and smoking.
Ventilate. In case of inadequate ventilation, use respiratory protection. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Collect and dispose of spillage as indicated in section 13. Do not discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Spillages or
uncontrolled discharges into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental Agency or other appropriate regulatory body.
SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS
Absorb with sand or other inert absorbent. Collect in containers and seal securely. Remove containers and flush area with water. Ensure
that waste and contaminated materials are collected and removed from the work area as soon as possible in a suitably labelled container
Handling and storage
USAGE PRECAUTIONS
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wear full protective clothing for prolonged exposure and/or high concentrations. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. If ventilation is insufficient, suitable respiratory protection must be provided. Good personal hygiene is necessary. Wash hands and contaminated areas with water and soap before leaving the work site.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS
Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Store in tightly closed original container in a dry and cool place. Do not store near heat sources or expose to high temperatures. Protect from freezing and direct sunlight. storage tanks must be positioned within bunded area.
