- Dry powder
- Carbon dioxide (CO2)
- Water spray
Advice for firefighters: Cool containers / tanks with water spray.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Ensure adequate ventilation.
Environmental precautions:
- Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.
- Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
Methods for cleaning up:
- Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).
- The material taken up must be disposed of in accordance with regulations.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling:
- Ensure adequate ventilation.
- Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.
- Avoid formation of aerosol.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
- Do not allow to enter drains (danger of explosion).
- Use only explosion-proof equipment.
- Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
- Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.
- Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage areas and containers:
- Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: In inadequately ventilated areas, where workplace limits are exceeded, where unpleasant odours exist or where aerosols are in use, or smoke and mist occur, use self-contained breathing apparatus or breathing apparatus with a type A filter or appropriate combined filter (e.g. where aerosols are in use, or smoke and mist occur, A-P2 or ABEK-P2), in compliance with EN 141.
Eye protection: Tightly fitting safety goggles
Skin protection: Wear substance/task appropriate gloves;
Hygiene measures: Take off all contaminated clothing immediately.
