SDS

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source
of ignition and flash back. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk.
Fire fighting
equipment/instructions
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Specific methods
Flammable liquid and vapor.
General fire hazards
6. Accidental release measures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Eliminate all
ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate
protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. 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.
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. This material is classified as a
water pollutant under the Clean Water Act and should be prevented from contaminating soil or
from entering sewage and drainage systems which lead to waterways.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or
divert vapor cloud drift. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to
prevent spreading. Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the
product and place into a container for later disposal. Following product recovery, flush area with
water.
Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid
discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Inform appropriate managerial or
supervisory personnel of all environmental releases.
Environmental precautions
7. Handling and storage
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of
ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Explosion-proof general and local exhaust ventilation.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the
product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment. Do not breathe
mist or vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not taste
or swallow. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke. Should be handled in closed systems, if
possible. Use only outdoors or in a well-ventilated area. Wear appropriate personal protective
equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Observe
good industrial hygiene practices.
Precautions for safe handling
Store locked up. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Store in a cool, dry place out of
direct sunlight. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep out
of the reach of children. Keep in an area equipped with sprinklers. Store away from incompatible
materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
