Fire-fighting measures

1. Extinguishing media : All extinguishing media can be used.

2. Special hazards arising from the substance : Not classified as flammable according to EEC criteria, but may present a risk in the event of a fire.

During combustion : Toxic and irritating fumes may be released

3. Advice for fire-fighters : Avoid raising powdered material due to explosion hazard

                                                Contain the extinguishing fluids by bunding.

                                                Do not attempt to fight the fire without suitable protective equipment : Suitable breathing apparatus.

                                                Complete protective clothing.
