foam.

· For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents Water with a full water jet.

· Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Lead oxide vapour or fume

Sulphur oxides (SOx)

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Carbon monoxide (CO) and Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

· Advice for firefighters

· Protective equipment:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Wear full protective suit.

· Additional information Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter drains.

Accidental release measures

· Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.

Use breathing protection against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol.

Avoid breathing dust.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

· Environmental precautions:

Do not allow to enter drainage system, surface or ground water.

Inform respective authorities in case product reaches water or sewage system.

· Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Collect mechanically.

Dispose of the material collected according to regulations.

Handling and storage

· Handling

· Precautions for safe handling

Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.

Prevent formation of dust.

Exposure controls / personal protection

· Exposure controls

· Personal protective equipment

· General protective and hygienic measures

Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and food.

Do not eat, drink or smoke while working.

Instantly remove any contaminated garments.

Store protective clothing separately.

Do not breathe dust.

Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Clean skin thoroughly immediately after handling the product.

Pregnant women must strictly avoid inhalation or contact with the skin.

· Breathing equipment:

Use breathing protection in case of dust formation.

If all workplace limits are observed and good ventilation is ensured, no special precautions necessary.

· Recommended filter device for short term use: Filter P3

· Protection of hands:

Protective gloves

To avoid skin problems reduce the wearing of gloves to the required minimum.

Check the permeability prior to each renewed use of the glove.

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 the 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

Protective gloves should be replaced at first signs of wear.

The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be

observed.

· Eye protection: Safety glasses

· Body protection:

Protective work clothing

Protective clothing should be selected specifically for the working place.

Stability and reactivity

· Reactivity

· Chemical stability

· Thermal decomposition / conditions to be avoided:

No decomposition if used according to specifications.

Temperature over 400°C

· Possibility of hazardous reactions Reacts with strong acids and alkali

· Incompatible materials:

Acids

Alkaline materials

· Hazardous decomposition products:

Leadoxide vapour

Sulphur oxides (SOx)

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
