Fire-fighting measures

1.Extinguishing media

Suitable methods of extinction

In the event of a fire, use:

Water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or CO2 extinguisher.

Unsuitable methods of extinction In the event of a fire, do not use: None.

2.  Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Do not breathe in smoke.

In the event of a fire, the following may be formed:

-       Carbon monoxide (CO)

-       Carbon dioxide (CO2)

-       Hydrogen chloride (HCL)

-       Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

.3...    Advice for firefighters

Due to the toxicity of the gas emitted on thermal decomposition of the products, fire-fighting personnel are to be equipped with breathing apparatus.

Use water to cool unopened containers.

Accidental release measures
