Fire-fighting measures

Suitable Extinguishing media: Water, carbon dioxide,  dry chemical.Unusual fire and explosion hazard: Dust may form explosive mixture in air. Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions.Special Protective Equipment for Fire fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and prote ctive clothing to prevent contact with skin and eyes.

Accidental release measures

Methods for cleanup: Vacuum material with appropriate dust collection filter in place. Be aware of potential for dust explosion when using electrical equipment. If vacuum is not available, lightly  mist material and remove by sweeping or wet wiping. Wear  protective equipment, including eye protection, to avoid exposure. Prevent entry to waterways, sewers, and surface drains.

Handling and storage

HANDLING: The substance will be stored, handled and used under conditions of good industri al hygiene and in conformity with  any local regulations, in order to avoid exposure to the extent technically feasible. The substance should be handled  by trained individuals wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (Tyvek Pro Tech coveralls, nitrile  gloves (EN 374, EN 455), safety glasses(EN166) or half-face respirator(EN 149)).STORAGE: Beta Ketosulfide is packaged in polypropylene tote bags with conductive strips and antist atic polythene liners, fibre drums with polyethylene liners, or in a HDPE flatbag in open top HDPE drum. The liners are armorflex 104 liners. Store refrigerated (2 to 8°C).
