Carbon dioxide
Water
Halogen extinguisher
- Protective equipment for firefighters:
Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.
Do not inhale explosion gases or combustion gases.
- Additional information:
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated fire fighting water in accordance with official regulations.
Accidental release measures
- Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid formation of dust.
Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol.
Keep away from ignition sources.
- Environmental precautions: No special measures required.
- Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Pick up mechanically.
Avoid formation of dust.
Use non-sparking tools, because the rubbing of the product with metallic objects may cause a formation of
