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

Specific hazards

Keep container tightly closed. Containers can burst violently or explode when heated, due to excessive pressure build-up. Irritating and/or toxic gases and particulates may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

Advice for firefighters

Protective actions during firefighting

Move containers from fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Control run-off water by containing and keeping it out of sewers and watercourses.

Special protective equipment for firefighters

Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions

Use approved safety glasses with side shields, or chemical splash goggles and a face shield. Wear protective gloves made of butyl rubber, or viton (fluoro) rubber as advised by supplier/manufacturer with regards to breakthrough-time of the gloves. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent any possibility of skin contact. Respiratory protection complying with an approved standard should be worn if risk assessment indicates inhalation of contaminants is possible.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions

Do not discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the ground.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up

Provide adequate ventilation. Do not touch or walk into spilled material. Wear suitable protective equipment, including gloves, goggles/face shield, respirator, boots, clothing or apron, as appropriate. Smaller quantities of residue may be collected by an absorbent. Collect and place in suitable waste disposal containers and seal securely.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Usage precautions

Avoid spilling. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation of dust and vapours.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Storage precautions

Store in tightly-closed, original container in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep only in the original container.
