FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel away. Shut off supply if possible. Remove containers to safe place if possible. Keep surrounding areas cool by spraying water. Fight fire from an upwind position.

FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT:

Respiratory and eye protection required for fire-fighting personnel. Full protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) should be used for all indoor fires and any significant outdoor fires.

HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: sulfur oxides.

Accidental release measures

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES:

Evacuate immediate area. Warn personnel of fire, explosion and health hazard. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel away. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in Section 8. Keep upwind, evacuate downwind.

Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a disposal container.

Use non-sparking tools and equipment. Avoid runoff to sewers or waterways.

Handling and storage

HANDLING

Technical Measures:

Use only in well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, and flame. Use explosionproof electrical equipment. Take precautions against build-up of electrostatic charges. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Provide hand and eye wash station near work area. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Ventilation:

Use only under local exhaust or general ventilation.

Safe Handling Advice:

Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Take precautions against build-up of electrostatic charges. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust.

STORAGE
