Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishing agents: CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.For safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents: No restriction in large fires.5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: The possibility of formation of explosive dust/air mixtures under certainconditions should be basically considered during handling and processing.In case of fire, the following can be released:Carbon monoxide (CO)Boron oxidesNitrogen oxides (NOx)5.3 Advice for firefighters Protective equipment: Wear self-contained respiratory protective device. Chemical resistant protective suit.Under the protective suit a fire protective suit according to EN 469 should be applied.

Accidental release measures

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Wear protective clothing.Use respiratory protective device against the effects of fumes/dust/aerosol. Avoid formation of dust.Instructions for emergency responders: Personal protective equipment see chapters 5 and 8.6.2 Environmental precautions: Keep contaminated washing water and dispose of appropriately.Do not allow undiluted product or large quantities of it to reach ground water, water course or sewage system.6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up: Pick up mechanically. If formation of dust cannot be avoided use respiratory filter device.

Handling and storage

7.1 Precautions for safe handling: Any unavoidable deposit of dust must be completely removed.Fill only in dedicated and assigned containers.Keep containers tightly sealed.Information about fire - and explosion protection: No special measures required.7.2 Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:StorageRequirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles: Store in a dry location, keep away from humidity. Store in a cool location.Corrosion of metals: Test method according to CLP is not applicable (solid material at 55°C).It should generally be borne in mind that there is a possibility of corrosion on contact with this material. Resistance should be checkedin each individual case.Information about storage in one common storage facility: Store away from oxidising agents.7.3 Specific end use(s): This product is exclusively dedicated for the application as isolated and transported intermediate under strictly controlled conditions according to Article 18 of Regulation EC 1907/2006 (REACH-Regulation).
