No special measures required.

Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or car-bon dioxide.

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

None known.

Specific extinguishing methods:

Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.  

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Use personal protective equipment.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Environmental precautions:

Prevent product from entering drains.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Dispose of wastes in an approved waste disposal facility.

Handling and storage

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Normal measures for preventive fire protection

Advice on safe handling:

Avoid formation of aerosol.

Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
