Protective actions during
firefighting
Avoid breathing fire gases or vapours. Evacuate area. Cool containers exposed to heat with
water spray and remove them from the fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers
exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use
water spray to disperse vapours and protect men stopping the leak. Control run-off water by
containing and keeping it out of sewers and watercourses. If risk of water pollution occurs,
notify appropriate authorities.
Special protective equipment
for firefighters
Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective
clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to European standard EN469 (including helmets,
protective boots and gloves) will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions No action shall be taken without appropriate training or involving any personal risk. Keep
unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from the spillage. Wear protective clothing as
described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Follow precautions for safe handling
described in this safety data sheet. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. Ensure
procedures and training for emergency decontamination and disposal are in place. Do not
touch or walk into spilled material. Evacuate area. Risk of explosion. Provide adequate
ventilation. No smoking, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition near spillage. Promptly
remove any clothing that becomes contaminated.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the ground.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Clear up spills
immediately and dispose of waste safely. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. No
smoking, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition near spillage. Under normal conditions of
handling and storage, spillages from aerosol containers are unlikely. If aerosol cans are
ruptured, care should be taken due to the rapid escape of the pressurised contents and
propellant. Small Spillages: Wipe up with an absorbent cloth and dispose of waste safely.
Large Spillages: If the product is soluble in water, dilute the spillage with water and mop it up.
Alternatively, or if it is not water-soluble, absorb the spillage with an inert, dry material and
place it in a suitable waste disposal container. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water.
Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage. For waste disposal, see Section 13.
6.4. Reference to other sections
Reference to other sections For personal protection, see Section 8. See Section 11 for additional information on health
hazards. See Section 12 for additional information on ecological hazards. For waste disposal,
see Section 13.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Usage precautions Keep out of the reach of children. Read and follow manufacturer's recommendations. Wear
protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Keep away from food,
drink and animal feeding stuffs. Avoid exposing aerosol containers to high temperatures or
direct sunlight. The product is flammable. Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open
flames and other ignition sources. No smoking. Do not handle until all safety precautions have
been read and understood. Do not handle broken packages without protective equipment. Do
not spray on an open flame or other ignition source. Do not pierce or burn, even after use.
Spray will evaporate and cool rapidly and may cause frostbite or cold burns if in contact with
skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapours and spray/mists.
