Section 5. Fire-fighting measures
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
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
Environmental precautions
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Avoid contamination with reactive
substances. Do not absorb in sawdust or other combustible material. It may lead to a
fire risk when it dries out. 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 for 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.

:
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources.
No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment.
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).
Large spill
:
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Avoid contamination with reactive substances. Dilute with
water and mop up if water-soluble. Do not absorb in sawdust or other combustible
material. It may lead to a fire risk when it dries out. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble,
absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container.
Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.

Section 7. Handling and storage
Protective measures
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Persons with a
history of skin sensitization problems should not be employed in any process in which
this product is used. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not ingest. Avoid
breathing vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate
respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do not enter storage areas and confined
spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the original container or an approved
alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Store
and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or any other ignition source. Use
explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Use
only non-sparking tools. Keep away from clothing, incompatible materials and
combustible materials. Temperature control may be required. Empty containers retain
product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.
