Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: water, carbon dioxide, foam, dry powder.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: for this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Combustible.
In the event of decomposition: danger of explosion.
Risk of dust explosion.
Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Fire may cause evolution of: hydrogen chloride gas, nitrogen oxides, nitrous gases.
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Further information
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapours/mists with a water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Advice for non-emergency personnel: avoid substance contact. Avoid inhalation of dusts. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Advice for emergency responders: Protective equipment see section “Exposure controls/personal protection”.
Environmental precautions
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills.
Observe possible material restrictions (see sections “Handling and storage” and “Stability and reactivity”).
Take up dry. Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area. Avoid generation of dusts.
Reference to other sections
Indications about waste treatment see section “Disposal considerations”.
Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling: Observe label precautions. Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture.
Hygiene measures: Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Requirements for storage areas and containers: No metal containers.
Storage conditions: Tightly closed and away from sources of ignition and heat. Observe national regulations. Dry. Recommended storage temperature see product label.
Specific end use(s)
Apart from the use as a reagent for analysis, no other specific uses are stipulated.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Control Parameters
Exposure Controls
Engineering measures: Technical measures and appropriate operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.
See section “Precautions for safe handling” in “Handling and Storage”.
Individual protection measures
Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.
Eye/face protection: Safety glasses
Hand protection
Full contact
Glove material: nitrile rubber
Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
Splash contact
Glove material: nitrile rubber
Glove thickness: 0.11 mm
Break through time: > 480 min
The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 741 Dermatril® L (full contact), KCL 741 Dermatril® L (splash contact).
The breakthrough times stated above were determined by KCL in laboratory tests according to EN374 with samples of the recommended glove types.
This recommendation applies only to the product stated in the safety data sheet, supplied by us and for the designated use. When dissolving in or mixing with other substances and under conditions deviating from those stated in EN374 please contact the supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g. KCL GmbH, D-36124 Eichenzell, Internet: www.kcl.de).
Other protective equipment: protective clothing
Respiratory protection:
Required when dusts are generated. Recommended filter type: Filter P 3 (according to DIN 3181) for solid and liquid particles of toxic and very toxic substances.
The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer. These measures have to be properly documented.
Environmental exposure controls
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
