Advice for firefighters

- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

- When intervention in close proximity wear acid resistant over suit.

- Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

- Approach from upwind.

- Protect intervention team with a water spray as they approach the fire.

- Keep containers and surroundings cool with water spray.

- Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Advice for non-emergency personnel

- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Advice for emergency responders
