Special fire fighting
procedures
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Keep upwind. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Avoid inhalation of vapours/spray and
contact with skin and eyes. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing.
For non-emergency
personnel
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this
safety data sheet.
For emergency responders
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not discharge into drains, water courses or
onto the ground.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Eliminate all ignition sources. Ventilate the area. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth,
fleece). Transfer to a container for disposal. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
6.3. Methods and material for
containment and cleaning up
For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
6.4. Reference to other
sections
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area.
Avoid inhalation of vapours/spray and contact with skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing as
described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Avoid prolonged exposure. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Avoid release to the environment.
7.1. Precautions for safe
handling
Keep container tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, spark, open
flames and other sources of ignition. Store away from incompatible materials.
7.2. Conditions for safe
storage, including any
incompatibilities
