Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards during fire-fighting: The product itself does not burn, but it is oxidising. May form toxic gases on heating or in case of fire. nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information: Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Contact with combustible material may cause fire. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

Exposure controls / personal protection
1. Control parameters: Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.
2. Engineering measures: Keep away from combustible material. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Dust must be extracted directly at the point of origin.
3. Hand protection: Protective gloves complying with EN 374. Wear suitable gloves. The exact break through time can be obtained from the protective glove producer and this has to be observed. Protective gloves have to be replaced at the first sign of deterioration.
4. Body protection: Chemical resistant protective clothing according to DIN EN 13034 (Type 6)
5. Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles (EN 166)
6. Respiratory protection: Dust mask recommended. Half mask with a particle filter P2 (EN 143).
7. Hygiene measures: Do not breathe dust. Take off contaminated clothing and shoes immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
8. Protective measures: Avoid dust formation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and safety shower.
9. Environmental exposure controls: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Avoid subsoil penetration.
