Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable Dry powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam

Unsuitable Water

5.2 Special hazards arising

from the substance or

mixture

Reactions with water liberate hazardous gas.

In the event of fire the following may be released:, Hydrogen cyanide

(hydrocyanic acid), Carbon monoxide (CO), Nitrogen oxides (NOx),

Sulphur oxides, Hydrogen fluoride

5.3 Advice for firefighters

Special protective

equipment for firefighters

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

Further information Contain the spread of the fire-fighting media. Do not allow run-off from

fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

air.

Hygiene measures Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Keep working clothes

separately. Wash hands immediately after work, if necessary take a

shower. Remove soiled clothing immediately and clean thoroughly

before using again. Garments that cannot be cleaned must be
