Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: Water Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2), Dry powder
Unsuitable extinguishing media: Foam Water
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Carbon oxides Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Combustible. Caution! in contact with water product releases:
Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid) Fire may cause evolution of: Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic
acid), nitrogen oxides Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive
mixtures with air at elevated temperatures. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours
possible in the event of fire.
5.3 Advice 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.
5.4 Further information
Remove container from danger zone and cool with water. Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a
water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Advice for non-emergency personnel: Do not breathe vapors, aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure
adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Evacuate the danger area, observe
emergency procedures, consult an expert. For personal protection see section 8.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Do not let product enter drains. Risk of explosion.
6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Cover drains. Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Observe possible material restrictions (see sections 7 and 10).
Take up carefully with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected
area.

Advice on safe handling
Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols.
Advice on protection against fire and explosion:
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.

Hygiene measures
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after
working with substance. For precautions see section 2.2.
