Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media:       All extinguishing substances suitable.

Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

In the case of fire, the following hazardous smoke fumes may be produced: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides.

Advice for firefighters:

Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.

Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water.

In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

Pay attention to self-protection.

Keep out unprotected persons.

In case of fire: full protective suit and wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Keep unauthorized persons away.

Avoid dust formation.

Environmental precautions:

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (check, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil, stretches of water, drainage systems, surface water.

If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Pick up mechanically. Collect in suitable containers.

Avoid dust formation.

To absorb spilled substance an approved industrial vacuum cleaner is recommended. If necessary, the spilled substance should be moistened.

Pack and label wastes like the pure substance. Do not detach label from the delivery containers prior to disposal.

Disposal according to local authority regulations.

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

Avoid excessive dust generation.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.

Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.

The information is based on our own tests, references from the literature and information from glove manufacturers, or derived by

analogy with similar materials.

Remember that the useful time per day of a chemical protection glove may be much shorter than the permeation time determined

according to EN 374 due to the many different influential factors involved (e.g. temperature).

Eye protection:

Safety glasses with side-shields conforming to EN166

or

If dust occurs: basket-shaped glasses

Skin and body protection:

Select materials and equipment for physical protection depending on the concentration and volume of hazardous substances and the workplace involved.
