Advice for firefighters
Special fire fighting procedures Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Avoid breathing fire vapours. Keep up-wind to avoid fumes. Fight advanced or massive fires from safe distance or protected location. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Containers close to fire should be removed immediately or cooled with water if safe to do so. Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Protective equipment for firefighters
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.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel Wear personal protective equipment as described in exposure section below. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Evacuate and ventilate area. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material.

For emergency responders
Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations for normal use of product.

Environmental precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Notify appropriate authorities if product enters public waters. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified in exposure section.  Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Ventilate and evacuate the area.
Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop leak if possible without risk. Cover drains. Absorb spillage with non-combustible, inert absorbent material. Use non
sparking tools or equipment for clean up. Ensure that waste and contaminated materials are collected and removed from the work area as soon as possible in a
suitably labelled container. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a spillage.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Use proper personal protection when handling. Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with skin and eyes. Ensure good interior ventilation, especially at floor level (fumes are heavier than air).

Engineering measures
Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure
that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Where necessary
use lighting and electrical equipment designed for use in atmospheres where
flammable vapours are present, and which can direct static electricity by grounding equipment.

Respiratory equipment
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface respirator with multi-purpose type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator
cartridgesas a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of
protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respiratory protection as
specified by an industrial hygienist or other qualified professional. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government
