Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media:
Suitable extinguishing media: Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known
Specific Hazards Arising from the chemical: Heating above 110°C results in an exothermic
decomposition with release of CO
2
gas.
Hazardous thermal decomposition products: Decomposition products may include following
materials: carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
nitrogen oxides
Special protective actions for fire -- fighters: No special measures are required.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective
equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face piece operated in positive
pressure mode.
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures
For non-emergency Personnel: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without
suitable training. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk
through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear
appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective
equipment.
For emergency responders: If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of
any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in “For
non-emergency personnel”.
Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil,
waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused
environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up Spill:
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent
entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent
treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent
material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container or disposal
according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see
Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for waste disposal.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions for Safe handling:
Protective Measures: Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not
ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Keep in original
container or an approved alternative made from compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in
use. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
Advice on general occupational hygiene: Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas
where this material is handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before
eating, drinking and smoking. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene measures.
Conditions for Safe Storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep out of the reach of children. Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original
container protected from direct sunlight in a dry, cool well-ventilated area, away from incompatible
materials (see Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready
for use. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Store upright to prevent leakage.
