Further information : Use appropriate protective equipment when treating a contaminated person. Place contaminated clothing in a sealed bag for disposal.

Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

- Suitable : Water spray - Foam - Multi-purpose powders - carbon dioxide (CO2)

- Not suitable : Strong water jet

Specific hazards : combustibe - On heating or during combustion : Toxic gases or vapours are released.

Specific fire fighting methods : Do not dispose of fire-fighting water in the environment

Protection of fire-fighters : Self-contained breathing apparatus - Boots, gloves, goggles

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions :

- Do not breathe vapours.

- Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

- Protection equipment : appropriate gloves - safety glasses - suitable protective clothing.

- Stop the leak. Turn leaking containers leak-side up to prevent the escape of liquid.

Environmental precautions : Dam up. Prevent product from entering drains.

Recovery : Contain spillage, soak up with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and transfer to a container for disposal according to local / national regulations. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

- Prevent the product from spreading into the environment

- For a large spillage, contain the spillage by bunding.

Methods for cleaning up :

- Prohibited : Do not spray water into packaging which has been damaged or overturned - Do not put the spilled material back into the original container for re-use.

- Recovery : Absorb the product onto porous material. Recover the product by vacuuming/shovelling or sweeping. Collect up the product and place it in a spare container suitable labelled . Keep the recovered product for subsequent disposal.

- Cleaning/Decontamination : Wash non -recoverable remainder with large amounts of water. Recover the cleaning water for subsequent disposal.

- Disposal : Dispose of all contaminated materials in accordance with current regulations.
