- Do NOT induce vomiting.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media

- Powder

- Foam, AFFF

- Carbon dioxide (CO2)

- Water, water spray

Extinguishing media which shall not be used for safety reasons

- None.

Special exposure hazards in a fire

- Highly flammable liquid and vapour.

- Vapours are heavier than air and may spread along floors.

- Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air.

- Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions.

Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

- Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

- Full protective flameproof clothing

- Wear chemical resistant oversuit

- Special protective actions for fire-fighters

Other information

- In case of fire, use water spray.

- Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.

- Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions

- Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

Environmental precautions

- Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

- If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods for cleaning up

- Dam up.

- Soak up with inert absorbent material.

- Prevent product from entering drains.

- Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Handling

- Used in closed system

- Use only in well-ventilated areas.

- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

- Heating can release vapours which can be ignited.

- To avoid ignition of vapours by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded.

- When transferring from one container to another apply earthing measures and use conductive hose material.

- Preferably transfer by pump or gravity.

- Do not use sparking tools.

- Keep away from Incompatible products.

Storage

- Store in original container.

- Keep container closed.

- Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.

- Keep in a bunded area.

- Keep away from Incompatible products.

- Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.

- Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations.

- Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

- Keep under inert gas.

Packaging material

- Steel

- Polyethylene

- Stainless steel

Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls

- Provide adequate ventilation.

Occupational exposure controls

Respiratory protection

- In the case of vapour formation use a respirator with an approved filter.

- Recommended Filter type: AB

- Self-contained breathing apparatus in case of: 1) large uncontrolled emissions, 2) insufficient oxygen, 3) the mask and cartridge do not give adequate protection.

Hand protection

- Wear suitable gloves.

- Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).

- Suitable material: Copolymer VF2-HFP (fluoroelastomer)

Eye protection

- If splashes are likely to occur, wear: Goggles, Face-shield.

Skin and body protection

- Flame-resistant clothing

- If splashes are likely to occur, wear: Apron, Boots

Hygiene measures

- Eye wash bottles or eye wash stations in compliance with applicable standards.

- When using do not eat, drink or smoke.

- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

- Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

Environmental exposure controls

- Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.
