Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical powder – carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet, as this will spread fire.
Hazardous combustion products: In case of fire: Thermal decomposition or combustion products may include the following substances: Sulphur dioxide; Nitrous gases.
Protective actions during firefighting: Water used to extinguish a fire should not be allowed to enter the drainage system or water courses.
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective clothing.
Accidental release measures
For non-emergency personnel: Avoid contact with skin. Wear protective gloves, safety goggles, or face shield, and suitable proactive clothing. Remove ignition sources. Evacuate the danger area.
For emergency responders: Avoid contact with skin. Wear protective gloves, safety goggles, or face shield, and suitable proactive clothing. Remove ignition sources. Evacuate the danger area or consult an expert.
Environmental precautions: Do not allow to escape into sewage system or water courses. Do not ash residues into drains or other waterways.
Containment of a spill: Do not allow to escape into a sewage system of water courses.
Methods for cleaning up: In case of spill (liquid) soak up immediately with suitable absorbent, such as sawdust or granular absorbent clay. Sweep up and place into sealable containers. Dig up heavily contaminated soil and place into drums. Use a damp cloth to clean floors and other objects, and also place in a sealable container. Dispose of all waste and contaminated clothing in the same manner as waste chemicals (i.e. via an authorised disposal facility). Do not wash residues into drains or other waterways.
