Protection of first aiders First aid personnel should wear appropriate protective equipment during any rescue. If it is
suspected that volatile contaminants are still present around the affected person, first aid
personnel should wear an appropriate respirator or self-contained breathing apparatus. Wash
contaminated clothing thoroughly with water before removing it from the affected person, or
wear gloves. It may be dangerous for first aid personnel to carry out mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation.

SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media The product is not flammable. Extinguish with alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry
powder or water fog. Use fire-extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards Containers can burst violently or explode when heated, due to excessive pressure build-up.
Hazardous combustion
products
Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances:
Harmful gases or vapours.
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Protective actions during
firefighting
Avoid breathing fire gases or vapours. Evacuate area. Cool containers exposed to heat with
water spray and remove them from the fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers
exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use
water spray to disperse vapours and protect men stopping the leak. Avoid discharge to the
aquatic environment. Control run-off water by containing and keeping it out of sewers and
watercourses. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities.
Special protective equipment
for firefighters
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective
clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to European standard EN469 (including helmets,
protective boots and gloves) will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.
