5.1. Extinguishing media
Use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide foam, water fog, or inert gas (nitrogen) for small fires. For large fires use foam,
water fog, or water spray. Water fog and spray are effective in cooling containers and adjacent structures but might
cause frothing and/or not achieve extinguishment. A water jet may be used to cool the container’s external walls to
prevent pressure build-up, auto ignition, or explosion. NEVER use a water
jet directly on the fire. Product will float and
can be re-ignited on surface of water.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazardous decomposition: High temperatures and fires may produce such toxic substances as carbon monoxide and
carbon dioxide.
Keep away from heat / sparks / open flames / hot surfaces - No smoking.
Keep cool.
Ground / bond container and receiving equipment.
Use explosion-proof electrical / ventilating / light / equipment.
Use only non-sparking tools.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Do not breathe mist / vapors / spray.
Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing.
5.3. Advice for fire-fighters
When heated above flash point, material will release flammable vapors which can burn or be explosive in confined
spaces if ignited. Do not mix with strong oxidants such as liquid chlorine or concentrated oxygen.
Minimize breathing vapors, gases or fumes of decomposition products. Do not enter any enclosed or confined fire
space without proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus.

6. Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
6.2. Environmental precautions
Do not allow spills to enter drains or waterways.
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove
soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Eliminate sources of ignition, and ventilate the area. Add sand or earth or absorb spill with suitable absorbent material
and place in a closed container.
Keep product out of sewers and waterways by diking or impounding. Advise authorities if product has entered or may
enter sewers or waterways. Assure conformity with applicable governmental regulations.
Eliminate ignition sources. Soak up with noncombustible absorbent material. Remove absorbent material for proper
disposal.
