Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Contents under pressure. Pressurised container may explode when exposed to heat or flame.
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
5.2. Special hazards arising
from the substance or mixture
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Special protective
equipment for firefighters
Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Containers should be cooled with
water to prevent vapour pressure build up. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose
holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out.
Special fire fighting
procedures
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. In the
event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Specific methods
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged
containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
For non-emergency
personnel
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Local
authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection,
see section 8 of the SDS.
For emergency responders
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Move the cylinder to a safe and open area if the leak is
irreparable. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate
area). Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil etc) away from spilled material. The product is
immiscible with water and will spread on the water surface. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth
and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
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
Pressurised container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not use if spray button is missing
or defective. Do not spray on a naked flame or any other incandescent material. Do not smoke
while using or until sprayed surface is thoroughly dry. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill, grind, or
expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. All equipment used when
handling the product must be grounded. Do not re-use empty containers. Avoid prolonged
exposure. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
7.1. Precautions for safe
handling
Pressurized container. Protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50°C.
Do not puncture, incinerate or crush. Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat or other
sources of ignition. This material can accumulate static charge which may cause spark and
become an ignition source. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
