Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing agents: CO₂, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.

Special hazards arising from the

substance or mixture: In case of fire, the following can be released:

Carbon monoxide (CO)

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Hydrogen chloride (HCl)

Advice for firefighters, Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device.

Chemical resistant protective suit. Under the protective suit a fire protective suit according to EN 469 should be applied.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Wear protective clothing. Avoid contact with eyes and skin and clothes.

Do not breathe dust.

Access only for trained personnel with personal protective equipment.

Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol.

Avoid formation of dust.

Environmental precautions: Keep contaminated washing water and dispose of appropriately.

Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Pick up mechanically. If formation of dust cannot be avoided use

respiratory filter device. Dispose contaminated material as chemical waste acc. to national law.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling: Empty containers must not be used for other products.

Contaminated protective equipment should be cleaned before taking it off.

Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.

Fill only in dedicated and assigned containers.

Keep containers tightly sealed.

Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles: Store in a dry location, keep away from humidity.

Store in a cool location.

Corrosion of metals: It should generally be borne in mind that there is a possibility of corrosion on contact with this material.

Resistance should be checked in each individual case.

Information about storage in one common storage facility: Store away from oxidising agents.
