Fire-fighting measures

1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media
Water spray, Alcohol resistant foam, Dry extinguishing powder
Unsuitable extinguishing media
Water jet

2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Deposited combustible dust has considerable explosion potential.
Hazardous combustion products
Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Hydrogen fluoride (HF), Nitrous gases

3. Advice for firefighters
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Fight fire with normal
precautions from a reasonable distance. Co-ordinate firefighting measures to the fire surroundings. Do not allow
firefighting water to enter drains or water courses. Collect contaminated firefighting water separately. Remove
undamaged containers from heat radiation. Keep containers cool with water spray. Precipitate combustion gases
with water spray if possible.

Accidental release measures

1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Wearing of suitable protective equipment (including personal protective equipment referred to under Section 8 of the
safety data sheet) to prevent any contamination of skin, eyes and personal clothing.
For non-emergency personnel
Remove persons to safety.
For emergency responders
Wear breathing apparatus if exposed to vapours/dust/spray/gases. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Provision
of sufficient ventilation.

2. Environmental precautions
Keep away from drains, surface and ground water. Retain contaminated washing water and dispose of it.

3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Advice on how to contain a spill
Covering of drains, Take up mechanically
Advice on how to clean up a spill
Take up mechanically.
Other information relating to spills and releases
Place in appropriate containers for disposal. Ventilate affected area.

Handling and storage

This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation

Article 18(4) for transported isolated intermediates. Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering, administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk-based management systems is available at each Manufacturing site.

Written confirmation of application of Strictly Controlled Conditions has been received from affected Distributor and Downstream Manufacturer/User of the Registrant's intermediate.

 

1. Precautions for safe handling
Recommendations
- measures to prevent fire as well as aerosol and dust generation
Use local and general ventilation. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only in well-ventilated
areas. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.
- specific notes/details
Dust deposits may accumulate on all deposition surfaces in a technical room. The product in the delivered form is not
dust explosion capable; the enrichment of fine dust however leads to the danger of dust explosion.
Advice on general occupational hygiene
Wash hands after use. Do not eat, drink and smoke in work areas. Remove contaminated clothing and protective
equipment before entering eating areas. Never keep food or drink in the vicinity of chemicals. Never place chemicals
in containers that are normally used for food or drink. Keep away from food, drink and animal feedingstuffs.

2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Managing of associated risks
- explosive atmospheres
Removal of dust deposits.
- ventilation requirements
Use local and general ventilation.
- packaging compatibilities
Only packagings which are approved (e.g. acc. to ADR) may be used.

3. Specific end use(s)
