Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media: Dry powder, Foam

Extinguishing media which shall not be used for safety reasons: Water

Specific hazards during fire fighting: Heating or fire can release toxic gas.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions: Use respirator when performing operations involving potential exposure to vapour of the product.

Environmental precautions: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Methods for cleaning up: Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Sweep up and shovel into

                                            suitable containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Handling:

Safe handling advice: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion: Incompatible with oxidizing agents. Keep away from combustible material. Preparation may charge

electrostatically: always use earthing leads when transferring from one container to another.

Storage:

Requirements for storage areas and containers: Keep container tightly closed. To maintain product quality, do not store in heat or direct sunlight.
