Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Hazard-determining flue gases might develop in case of fire:

Nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide.

Advice for firefighters:

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

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

Keep out unprotected persons.

Wear a self contained respiratory apparatus full protective suit.
