Fire-fighting measures

1 Extinguishing media:

Suitable extinguishing media:       Water spray or fog, foam, dry chemical powder, CO2, sand.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:       Not available.

2 Special hazards arising from the

substance or mixture       In case of fire, the following can be released: Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.

3 Advice for firefighters:       Firefighters must wear fire resistant protective equipment. Wear approved respirator and protective gloves.

Accidental release measures

1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

1.1 For non-emergency personnel:       Remove ignition sources. Provide adequate ventilation. Avoid inhalation dust. Avoid skin and eye contact. For personal protection see Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.

1.2 For emergency responders:       Wear an appropriate NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator if dust is generated.

2 Environmental Precautions:       Avoid disposing into drainage/sewer system or directly into the aquatic environment.
