Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

· Suitable extinguishing agents: Water spray jet, extinguishing powder, CO2, foam.

· Unsuitable extinguishing agents for reasons of safety: None

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

In case of fire, toxic incineration products may be released such as:

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Carbon monoxide (CO)

Advice for firefighters

· Protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

· Additional information

 Collect contaminated fire fighting water separately. It must not enter drains.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

  Wear protective clothing (see item 8).

  Keep unprotected persons away.

  When selecting the protective suit attention has to be paid to the complete and safe protection of

  skin and mucous membranes. Impermeable protective clothes, protective boots made of neoprene,

  complete face protection and nitrile-rubber-gloves with long tops should be worn.

Environmental precautions:

  As the product is hazardous for the aquatic environment, it must be prevented from reaching surface water.

  Inform authorities in case of contamination of water or sewage system.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

  Collect mechanically.

  Send for recovery or disposal in suitable containers.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

  Provide good room ventilation or local exhaust ventilation at the workplace.

  Risks to the safety and health of workers may not only be created by work involving chemicals but,

  inter alia by work equipment and the fitting-out of work-places. Those risks shall be identified and evaluated.

· Information about protection against explosion and fire: No special measures required.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

· Storage

· Requirements to be met by storerooms and containers: Keep containers tightly sealed.

· Information about storage in a common storage facility: Store away from foodstuffs.

· Further information about storage conditions:

  Protect from humidity and keep away from water.

  Prevent release to the environment by adequate secondary containment design and use of appropriate spill control procedures.
