Fire-fighting measures
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, dry chemical.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS: In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective gear.
Accidental release measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not breathe vapours. Wear personal protective equipment. Isolate the area. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Apply water spray or mist to knock down vapors.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Avoid release to the environment. Do not flush into surface waters or sanitary sewer system. If the product contaminates waterways or drains inform respective authorities.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP: Absorb with non-combustible materials such as sand or earth and collect in a suitable container to be disposed of in accordance with local regulations DO NOT use acids to neutralize.
Handling and storage
HANDLING: Advice on safe handling: Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes. Do not breathe vapours. Do not heat up. Keep away from acids. Use only in well-ventilated areas. The solution should be kept strongly alkaline (pH > 10) in order to avoid release of gaseous hydrogen sulfide.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion: The product itself is not flammable. When heated, may produce highly flammable and toxic hydrogen sulfide gas.
STORAGE:
- Keep in a cool and well-ventilated place.
- Keep only in the original container. Keep the container tightly closed.
- Keep away from acids and heat sources.
