SECTION 5:
Firefighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Do not use a heavy water stream. Use of heavy stream of water may spread fire.
Specific hazards arising
from the substance or mixture
Fire hazard
Not flammable
Explosion hazard
Not explosive
Reactivity
Hazardous reactions will not occur under normal conditions.
Hazardous combustion products
Carbon oxides, hydrogen chloride gas, magnesium oxides, nitrogen oxides, sodium oxides.
Other irritating fumes and smoke.
Advice for firefighters
Precautionary measures
Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire; hazardous fumes will be present.
Firefighting
equipment/instructions
Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers.
Protection during firefighting
Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Other information
Refer to section 9 of the SDS for flammability properties.
SECTION 6:
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during cleanup. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. For personal protective equipment, refer to section 8 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
Avoid discharge into drains, watercourses, or onto the ground.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Dike the spilled material where this is possible. Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Absorb spillage to prevent material
damage. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth, and place into containers. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or
confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Never return spills to original containers for reuse.
Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazards as the spilled product. In the event of a spill or accidental release,
notify relevant authorities in accordance with all applicable regulations.
Reference to other sections
For exposure controls and personal protection, refer to section 8 of the SDS. For waste disposal, refer to section 13 of the SDS.
SECTION 7:
Handling and storage
Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures
Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not taste or swallow. Avoid prolonged exposure.
Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. For personal protective equipment, refer to section
8 of the SDS. Keep away from incompatibles. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Label containers appropriately.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Keep tightly capped. Store out of direct sunlight between 36°F85°F. Store away from incompatible materials (refer to section 10
of the SDS).
