Fire-fighting measures
- General fire hazards: The product is not flammable.
- Suitable extinguishing media: Use appropriate extinguishing media for any nearby fire.
- Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known.
- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Product will release sulfur oxides upon heating.
- Advice for firefighters: Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self contained breathing apparatus.
- Special firefighting procedures: Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
- For non-emergency personnel: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of the SDS. Avoid generation and spreading of dust. Do not breathe dust.
- For emergency responders Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the SDS.
- Environmental precautions Avoid spreading dust or contaminated materials. Avoid discharge into water courses or onto the ground.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Use a vacuum cleaner. If not possible collect using a shovel, broom or the like. Avoid dust
formation. Collect and reclaim or dispose in sealed containers at licensed waste disposal site. For
waste disposal, see Section 13 SDS. When wetted the product is corrosive.
- Reference to other sections: For personal protection, see Section 8 SDS. For waste disposal, see Section 13 SDS
