Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

- Water spray

- Foam

- Carbon dioxide (CO2)

- Multi-purpose powders

Unsuitable extinguishing media

- High volume water jet

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

- Risk of dust explosion.

- Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition

source is a potential dust explosion hazard.

- Under fire conditions:

- Will burn

- On combustion, toxic gases are released.

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters

- In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

- Personal protective equipment comprising: suitable protective gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing

Specific fire fighting methods

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

Further information

- Standard procedure for chemical fires.

- Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

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

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

- Where exposure level is not known, wear approved, positive pressure, self-contained respirator.

- Where exposure level is known, wear approved respirator suitable for level of exposure.

- For further information refer to section 8 "Exposure controls/personal protection".

Environmental precautions

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

- Contain the spilled material by bunding.

- Do not let product enter drains.

- Do not allow uncontrolled discharge of product into the environment.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up

- Stop leak if safe to do so.

- Avoid dust formation.

- Dust deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they are

released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration.

- Sweep up and shovel into suitable containers for disposal.

- Keep in properly labelled containers.

- Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

- After cleaning, flush away traces with water.

- Recover the cleaning water for subsequent disposal.

- Decontaminate tools, equipment and personal protective equipment in a segregated area.

- Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.

- Never return spills in original containers for re-use.
