5.1 Suitable extinguishing media
alcohol-resistant foam , carbon dioxide , sand . Hydrogen gas can become trapped under foam
blankets, so sources of ignition must be eliminated during the clean-up and recovery process.
5.2 Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
water , extinguishing powder , halones .
5.3 Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products,
resulting gases
-
5.4 Special protective equipment for fire fighting
Use respiratory protection independent of recirculated air.
6 Accidental release measures
6.1 Personal precautions
Secure the area. Wear personal protection equipment (see section 8). If material is released
indicate risk of slipping.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Prevent material from entering surface waters, drains or sewers and soil. Contain any fluid
that runs out using suitable material (e.g. earth). If safe to do so, stop the leak at its
source.
6.3 Methods for cleaning up
For small amounts: Absorb with a neutral (non-acidic / non-basic) liquid binding material such
as diatomaceous earth and dispose of according to government regulations. For large amounts:
Liquids may be recovered using suction devices or pumps. Use only air driven or properly rated
electrical eqiupment. Use vented recovery containers. Clean any slippery coating that remains
using a detergent / soap solution or another biodegradable cleaner. Apply sand or other inert
granular material to improve traction.
6.4 Further information:
Eliminate all sources of ignition. Material designated for disposal must be segregated from
incompatible substances or materials specified in Sect. 10.2. Do not blend contaminated
material with uncontaminated material. Observe notes under section 7.
7 Handling and storage
7.0 General information:
Always stir well before use.
7.1 Handling
Precautions for safe handling:
Open and handle container with care. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep container closed when
not in use. Keep away from incompatible substances in accordance with section 10.2. Where
possible, inert process equipment and blanket vessels, tanks and containers with nitrogen to
reduce the available oxygen level. Contact WACKER for additional publications on the safe
Handling of SiH Products.
Precautions against fire and explosion:
Product can release hydrogen. In partly emptied containers formation of explosive mixtures is
possible. Keep away from sources of ignition and do not smoke. Keep away from open flames, heat
and sparks. Take precautionary measures against electrostatic charging.
7.2 Storage
Conditions for storage rooms and vessels:
Do not store in virgin glass containers with basic surface.
Advice for storage of incompatible materials:
Do not store with: basic substances (e.g. alkalis, ammonia, amines) , oxidizing agents , strong
acids .
