Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Heating may cause decomposition with release of toxic fumes.

Combustion products:

Fire will produce smoke containing hazardous combustion products (see section 10).

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.

Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

respective authorities.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up / Methods for containment:

Keep wetted with water.

Soak up with inert absorbent material and dispose of as hazardous waste.

Confinement must be avoided.

Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust.

Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Never return spills in original containers for re-use.

Reference to other sections

Additional advice:

For personal protection see section 8.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling:

For personal protection see section 8.

Avoid formation of respirable particles.

Do not breathe vapours/dust.

Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.

Obtain special instructions before use.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Use explosion protected equipment.

Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

No sparking tools should be used.

Keep away from reducing agents (e.g. amines), acids, alkalies and heavy metal compounds (e.g. accelerators, driers, metal soaps).

Do not cut or weld on or near this container even when empty.

Keep away from combustible material.

Temperature class:

It is recommended to use electrical equipment of temperature group T3. However, autoignition can never be excluded.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Prevent unauthorized access.

No smoking.

Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.

Keep only in original container.

Store away from other materials.

Maximum storage temperature:

30 °C

Other data:

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

Specific end use(s)

Specific use(s):

Consult the technical guidelines for the use of this substance/mixture.

Stable under recommended storage conditions.

Possibility of hazardous reactions

No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.

Conditions to avoid

Conditions to avoid:

Confinement must be avoided.

Heat, flames and sparks.

Incompatible materials

Materials to avoid:

Contact with the following incompatible materials will result in hazardous decomposition:

Acids and bases

Iron

Copper

Reducing agents

Heavy metals

Rust

Do not mix with peroxide accelerators, unless under controlled processing.

Use only stainless steel 316, PP, polyethylene or glass-lined equipment.

For queries regarding the suitability of other materials please contact the supplier.

Hazardous decomposition products

Hazardous decomposition products:

Carbon oxides

2,2'4,4'-Tetrachlorobiphenyl

1,3-Dichlorobenzene

2,4-Dichlorobenzoic acid

Thermal decomposition:

SADT - (Self accelerating decomposition temperature) is the lowest temperature at which self accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the packaging as used in transport. A dangerous self-accelerating decomposition reaction and, under certain circumstances, explosion or fire can be caused by thermal decomposition at and above the SADT. Contact with incompatible substances can cause decomposition below the SADT.

Self-Accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT): 60 °C

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Product:

Do not dispose of waste into sewer.

Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with chemical or used container.

Hazardous waste

Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulation.

Contaminated packaging:

Empty remaining contents.

Dispose of as unused product.

Do not burn, or use a cutting torch on, the empty drum.

Due to the high risk of contamination recycling/recovery is not recommended.

Follow all warnings even after the container is emptied.
