· Unsuitable extinguishing agents for reasons of safety: None

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
In case of fire, toxic incineration products may be released such as:
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Sulphur dioxide (SO2)

Advice for firefighters
· Protective equipment: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wear protective clothing (see item 8).
Keep unprotected persons away.

Environmental precautions:
Do not allow product to enter waters without treatment in a (biological) water treatment plant. Prevent material from reaching sewage system, holes and cellars.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Collect large amounts in suitable container. Cover the rest with absorbent, mix intensively and collect mechanically.
Dispose of contaminated material as waste according to item 13. Provide adequate ventilation.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Ensure good exhaust ventilation at the workplace.
Open and handle containers with care.
It is preferable to handle the product in a closed system.
Avoid air pollution at the workplace e.g. aerosol formation or product heating.
Risks to the safety and health of workers may not only be created by work involving chemicals but,
inter alia by work equipment and the fitting-out of work-places. Those risks shall be identified and evaluated.
· Information about protection against explosion and fire: Keep ignition sources away - do not smoke. Protect against electrostatic charges.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
· Storage
· Requirements to be met by storerooms and containers: Store in cool location.
· Information about storage in a common storage facility: Store away from foodstuffs.
· Further information about storage conditions: Keep containers tightly sealed.
