Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media : Water mist

Water spray jet

Foam

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry chemical

Unsuitable extinguishing

media

: High volume water jet

5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Specific hazards during firefighting

: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water

courses.

Hazardous combustion products

: Hazardous decomposition products due to incomplete combustion

Hazardous decomposition products due to incomplete combustion

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment

for firefighters

: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

Further information : Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This

must not be discharged into drains.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must

be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

For safety reasons in case of fire, cans should be stored separately in closed containments.

Use a water spray to cool fully closed containers.

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment.

Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

6.2 Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions : Prevent product from entering drains.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform

respective authorities.

6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up : Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local

/ national regulations (see section 13).

6.4 Reference to other sections

For personal protection see section 8.

Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling : Avoid formation of aerosol.

Do not breathe vapours/dust.

Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

For personal protection see section 8.

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.

Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.

Advice on protection against

fire and explosion

: Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material.

Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge

(which might cause ignition of organic vapours). Keep away

from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.

Hygiene measures : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. General industrial

hygiene practice.

7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage

areas and containers

: Store in cool place. Containers which are opened must be

carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the

technological safety standards. To maintain product quality,

do not store in heat or direct sunlight.

Storage class (TRGS 510) : 10, Combustible liquids

Further information on storage stability

: Keep in a dry place. No decomposition if stored and applied

as directed.
