Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

Cool containers / tanks with water spray, Dry chemical, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO 2)

Extinguishing Media Which Must not be Used for Safety Reasons:

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products, resulting gases:

Heating or fire can release toxic gas

During processing, dust may form explosive mixture in air

Precautions for fire-fighters

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

Other information:

Cool containers / tanks with water spray

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:
