Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

water

mist

dry powder

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

foam

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

May be released in case of fire: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, organic products of decomposition.

Hydrogen chloride gas5.3.       Advice for firefighters

In case of fire, remove the endangered containers and bring to a safe place, if this can be done safely.

In case of fire cool containers or take them to a safe place.

Contaminated fire-extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations issued by the appropriate local authorities.

Ensure there are sufficient retaining facilities for water used to extinguish fire.

Fire residues should be disposed of in accordance with the regulations.

Keep out unprotected persons.

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Exposure controls / personal protection

Engineering measures

Ensure suitable suction/aeration at the work place and with operational machinery.

Provide for installation of emergency shower and eye bath.

Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection

When handling for a short time:

In case of breathable aerosols/vapors:

Respirator with ABEK combination filter

in the event of prolonged exposure during handling:

In case of breathable aerosols/vapors:

wear a self contained respiratory apparatus

Note time limit for wearing respiratory protective equipment.

Hand protection

Applies to handling for brief periods or of small amounts

Glove material       Nitrile, for example, Dermatril P 743, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), Germany

Material thickness       0,2 mm

Method              DIN EN 374

Applies to handling for longer periods or of large amounts

Glove material       Nitrile/Chloroprene, for example, Nitopren 717, Kächele-Cama Latex GmbH (KCL), Germany

Material thickness       0,65 mm

Method              DIN EN 374

Selection of protective gloves to meet the requirements of specific workplaces.

Suitability for specific workplaces should be clarified with protective glove manufacturers.

Remember that the useful time per day of a chemical protection glove may be much shorter than the permeation time determined according to EN 374 due to the many different influential factors involved (e.g. temperature).
