Fire-fighting measures
General fire hazards
Porous material such as rags, paper, insulation, or organic clay may spontaneously combust when wetted with this material.
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media : Not available.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Upon decomposition, this product emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and/or low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Special fire fighting procedures: Wear suitable protective equipment. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Specific methods: Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel: Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist/vapours. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
For emergency responders: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Avoid breathing mist/vapours. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
The product is immiscible with water and will spread on the water surface.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use.
6.4. Reference to other sections
For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Porous material such as rags, paper, insulation, or organic clay may spontaneously combust when wetted with this material. May auto-oxidize with sufficient heat generation to ignite if spread (as a thin film) or absorbed on porous or fibrous material. Contaminated rags and cloths must be put in fireproof containers for disposal. Avoid breathing mist/vapours. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid
release to the environment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Follow all SDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because they may retain product residues.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in tightly closed container. Keep containers closed when not in use. Store at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
7.3. Specific end use(s) Not available.

Exposure controls / personal protection
8.1. Control parameters
Occupational exposure limits: No exposure limits noted for ingredient(s).
Biological limit values: No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Recommended monitoring procedures: Follow standard monitoring procedures.
8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information
Personal protection equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Face shield is recommended.
Skin protection
- Hand protection
When handling hot material, use heat resistant gloves. The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the other. Wear suitable gloves tested to EN374. The most suitable glove must be chosen in consultation with the gloves supplier, who can inform about the breakthrough time of the glove material. Recommended gloves include rubber, neoprene, nitrile or viton. For continuous contact we recommend gloves with breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference for > 480 minutes. For short-term/splash protection we recommend the same, but recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough time maybe acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness should be typically greater than 0.35 mm. This recommendation is advisory only. It may not be appropriate for all workplaces. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific use scenario. A hazard assessment should be conducted prior to use to ensure suitability of gloves for specific work environments and processes.
- Other
Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
Respiratory protection
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Thermal hazards
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
Hygiene measures
Eye wash fountain and emergency showers are recommended. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
Environmental exposure controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. Fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment may be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Stability and reactivity
10.1. Reactivity: The product is stable and non-reactive under normal conditions of use, storage and transport.
10.2. Chemical stability: Material is stable under normal conditions.
10.3. Possibility of hazardous reactions: No dangerous reaction known under conditions of normal use.
