Advice for firefighters.

Special fire fighting procedures:

Contaminated extinguishing water must be treated at a suitable disposal plant in accordance with waste management laws.

Water used to extinguish fire should not enter drainage systems, soil or stretches of water.

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.

Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

Keep unauthorized personnel away.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Use personal protective equipment.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Use personal protective equipment.

Keep unauthorized personnel away.

For non-emergency personnel:

No data available.

For emergency responders:

No data available.

Environmental Precautions:

Observe regulations on prevention of water pollution (check, dam up, cover up).

Do not allow entrance in sewage water, soil, stretches of water, drainage systems, surface water.

If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Pick up mechanically.

Collect in suitable containers.

To absorb spilled substance an approved industrial vacuum cleaner is recommended.

If necessary, the spilled substance should be moistened.

Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

Pack and label wastes like the pure substance.

Do not detach label from the delivery containers prior to disposal.

Disposal according to local authority regulations.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling.

Technical measures (e.g. Local and general ventilation):

Ensure suitable suction/aeration at the work place and with operational machinery.

Provide for installation of emergency shower and eye bath.

Safe handling advice:

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing.

If there is the possibility of skin/eye contact, the indicated hand/eye/body protection should be used.

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Avoid dust formation.

Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Avoid residues of the product on the containers.

The personal protective equipment used must meet the requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and amendments (CE certification).

It should be defined in the work place in the form of a risk analysis according to Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and amendments.

Contact avoidance measures:

see Precautions for safe handling.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities.

Safe storage conditions:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Keep away from combustion sources such as sparks, flames and unprotected light sources.

Must be rendered inert for grinding.

Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.

Protect from sunlight, warmth and heat.

In order to ensure due transportation, make certain that stacks are of the correct height, containers are securely fastened so as not to fall off, and labelled according to the regulations.

In the event of internal transportation, already-opened containers are to be kept closed in order to avoid spillage.

Further information:
