Fire-fighting measures

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA

- Suitable extinguishing agents: CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.

- Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: In case of fire, ammonia and nitrogen oxides (NOx) can be released.

ADVICE FOR FIREFIGHTERS

- Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device and fully protective suit.

- Additional information: Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter the sewage system.

Accidental release measures

GENERAL PROTECTIVE AND HYGIENIC MEASURES

- Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed

- Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing

- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work

- Avoid contact with the eyes and skin

- Respiratory protection: If dust or spray is present use respiratory protection filter P3

- Protection of hands: Protective gloves.

- The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/the preparation/the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.

- Material of gloves: The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.

- Penetration time of glove material: The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.

- For the permanent contact of a maximum of  15 minutes gloves made of Butyl rubber (BR) or Fluorocarbon rubber (Viton) are suitable

- Eye protection: Safety glasses

- Body protection: Protective work clothing
