Extinguishing media that must not be used for safety reasons: Strong water jet.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

In case of fire, the product may emit toxic and/or irritating fumes. Possible explosive mixtures (vapors heavier than air). Supposed thermal decomposition/oxidation: Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide Sulphurous oxides (SOx) Possible: Hydrocarbons

Advice for firefighters:

Special protective equipment for firefighting: Use self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information: Avoid rejection of extinguishing water in the environment. Cool containers / tanks with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Insulating breathing apparatus and chemical suit.

Environmental precautions:

Avoid any spreading of product.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

General advice: Take up with absorbent material (eg sand, kieselguhr, universal binder) Sweep and shovel the solid product in a container adapted for its recovery or destroying (avoiding dust formation). Close and label rigorously.

Cleaning of contaminated zone: After taking up the product, rinse the polluted area with water.

Elimination of recovered materials: Deliver to Environmental service of the factory or to any specialized and approved disposal service.

Additional advice:

Evacuation of area and intervention of special services.
