Notes to physician

This substance does not have any noteworthy noxious potential. Damage to health is thus not expected.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

Water spray, foam, CO2, dry powder.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons

high volume water jet

Specific hazards during fire fighting

Hazardous fumes in fires, specific to the product:

Carbon monoxide

hydrochloric acid

Under certain fire conditions, traces of other toxic products may occur.

Formation of flammable or explosive vapour/air mixtures possible.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

Wear suitable protective clothing.

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information

Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil, or stretches of water Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire. Contaminated fire-extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate local authorities.

Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

Ensure sufficient ventilation.

Wear suitable protective clothing.

Wear personal protective equipment

Keep unauthorized persons away.

Environmental precautions

Do not allow substance to enter soil, bodies of water or sewage canals.

Avoid penetration into drainage system or in rooms situated at a lower level because of danger of explosion.
