5.4. Special protective equipment for fire-fighters

- Evacuate personnel to safe areas.

- Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet, coat, trouser, boots, and gloves).  Avoid contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus.  If this is not available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote location.

- Protect intervention team with a water spray as they approach the fire.

- Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

5.5. Other information

- Cool containers / tanks with water spray.

- Flood the product with water.

- Avoid propagating the fire, by flotation of the product (density < 1).

Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions

- Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition.

- Cover the spreading liquid with foam in order to slow down the evaporation.

- Keep away from Incompatible products.

- Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.

6.2. Environmental precautions

- Should not be released into the environment.

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

6.3. Methods for cleaning up

- Dam up.

- Soak up with inert absorbent material.

- Prevent product from entering drains.

- Keep in properly labelled containers.

7.2. Storage

- Store in original container.

- Keep container closed.

- Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place.

- Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.

- Keep away from incompatible products

- Keep in a bunded area.

- Do not store in: Aluminum and its alloys.

- Storage tanks should be blanketed with nitrogen and the oxygen concentration should be maintained below eight (8%) percent.

7.3. Specific use(s)

- For further information, please contact: Supplier

7.4. Packaging material

- Steel drum

- Stainless steel

7.5. Other information

- Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking.

- Provide electrical equipment safe for hazardous locations.

- Ensure all equipment is electrically grounded before beginning transfer operations.

- Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

- To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat.

Additional remarks related with workers exposure:

Based on modeling and monitoring data which are available, the inhalation exposure of workers is less than the DNEL (Inhalation DNEL-Long term exposure-systemic effect = 0.35 ppm) and much lower than the current OEL (ACGIH value = 1 ppm) for manufacturing. This confirms that the risk management measures are adequate to assure strictly controlled conditions.

Additional remarks related with environmental exposure:

Based on available measures, the predicted environmental concentration as well as the environmental release is at least 100 times lower than the PNEC (PNEC aqua freshwater=0.0012 mg/l).
