Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Use personal protective equipment.

Specific extinguishing methods:

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so.

Evacuate area.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.

Environmental precautions:

Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.

Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained.

Methods for cleaning up:

Soak up with inert absorbent material.

For large spills, provide dyking or other appropriate containment to keep material from spreading. If dyked material can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate container.

Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable absorbent.

Local or national regulations may apply to releases and disposal of this material, as well as those materials and items employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to determine which regulations are applicable.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Technical measures:

See Engineering measures under EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION section.

Local/Total ventilation:

Use only with adequate ventilation.

Advice on safe handling:

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice, based on the results of the workplace exposure assessment

Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the environment.

Hygiene measures:

Ensure that eye flushing systems and safety showers are located close to the working place. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.

Requirements for storage areas and containers:

Keep in properly labelled containers. Store in accordance with the particular national regulations.

Advice on common storage:

Do not store with the following product types:

Strong oxidizing agents

Specific use(s):

These precautions are for room temperature handling.  Use at elevated temperature or aerosol/spray applications may require added precautions.
