Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or prepara-

tion itself, its combustion products, or released gases

Personal protection through wearing a tightly closed chemical protec-

tion suit and a self-contained breathing apparatus.

Additional information on firefighting

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water cours-

es. Remove all sources of ignition. Pay attention to flashback. Stay

upwind/keep distance from source. Keep containers and surround-

ings cool with water spray.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Personal precautions

Remove all sources of ignition. Wear respiratory protection. Avoid

breathing vapors, mist or gas. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and

clothing. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Use per-

sonal protective equipment. Keep away from open flames, hot sur-

faces and sources of ignition.

Environmental precautions

Environmental precautions

Avoid subsoil penetration. Contact with water liberates toxic gas. Pre-

vent spreading over a wide area (e.g. by containment or oil barriers).

Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet.

Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Retain and

dispose of contaminated wash water. Keep away from heat, sparks

and open flame. - No smoking.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

Methods for cleaning up Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent

material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place

in container for disposal according to local / national regulations.

ter handling the product. Take precautionary measures against static

discharges.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion

In case of mist, spray or aerosol exposure wear suitable personal res-

piratory protection and protective suit. Preparation may charge elec-

trostatically: always use earthing leads when transferring from one

container to another. Vapours may form explosive mixture with air.

Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.
