3. Advice for firefighters:

Firefighting instructions: Evacuate personnel to a safe area. Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers. Move containers from fire area if it can be done without personal risk. Prevent fire fighting water from entering the environment. Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.

Protection during firefighting: Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective equipment. Self-contained breathing apparatus. Complete protective clothing.

Accidental release measures

1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

For non-emergency personnel:

Protective equipment: Wear recommended personal protective equipment.

Emergency procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Ventilate spillage area. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not touch or walk on the spilled product. Avoid breathing dust.

For emergency responders:

Protective equipment : Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective equipment. For further information refer to section 8 of the SDS: "Exposure controls/personal protection".

2. Environmental precautions:
