Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: In case of fire use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or CO2.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: None known
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Hazards from the substance or mixture: Explosive material with mass explosion hazard. In a fire or if heated, a pressure
increase will occur and the container may burst. Runoff to sewer may create fire or
explosion hazard.
Hazardous thermal decomposition products: No specific data.
Advice for firefighters
Special protective actions for fire-fighters: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. First move people out of line-of-sight of the scene and away from
windows. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Fight fire from protected location or
maximum possible distance. Do not fight fire when it reaches the material.
Withdraw from fire and let it burn.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode. Clothing for fire-fighters (including helmets, protective boots and gloves)
conforming to European standard EN 469 will provide a basic level of protection for
chemical incidents. Fire-fighters' protective clothing will only provide limited
protection.
