Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media: Use dry chemical, CO2 or sand.
Not suitable:Do not use water or foam.
No specific fire or explosion hazard.
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if there is
a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. This
material is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Fire water contaminated with this material must
be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
Special remarks on explosion hazards: may present an explosion hazard when material is suspended in air in confined areas or
equipment and subjected to spark, heat or flame.
remarks:
Original packaging can be wetted using water for extinguishing surrounding fire in well
ventilated area's.
Wetted powder will heat and release gases (hydrogen)
Isolate wetted packaging and powder from combustible materials and dry powder and store
in an excellent ventilated area. Avoid runoff to sewers.
Accidental release measures
personal precautions: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate
surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not
touch or walk through spilt material. Avoid breathing dust. Provide adequate ventilation.
Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal
protective equipment
Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution
(sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to the
environment if released in large quantities.
Methods for cleaning up: Move containers from spill area. Approach the release from upwind. Prevent entry into
sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Vacuum or sweep up material and
place in a designated, labelled waste container. Avoid creating dusty conditions and
prevent wind dispersal. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling:
Avoid raising dust. Keep away from naked flames/heat. Observe strict hygiene. On (re)melting down: dry and preheat installation before use. Add only
dry material to the metal bath
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Safe storage requirements:
Meet the legal requirements. Store in a dry area. Keep at temperature above dew point. Temperature above dew point.
Keep away from: (Strong) acids
