Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Water spray

Foam

Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Dry chemical

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

High volume water jet

Specific hazards during firefighting:       

If product is heated above its flash point it will produce vapors sufficient to support combustion.  Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground and be ignited by heat, pilot lights, other flames and ignition sources at locations near the point of release.

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.

Hazardous combustion products:

carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide

Nitrogen oxides (NOx)

acrid smoke and fumes

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

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

Specific extinguishing methods:

Product is compatible with standard fire-fighting agents.

Further information:       

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Use personal protective equipment.

Ensure adequate ventilation.

Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.

Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

Environmental precautions       :

Prevent product from entering drains.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.

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

Methods for cleaning up:       

Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust).

Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Handling and storage

Advice on safe handling:       

Avoid formation of aerosol.

Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.

Do not breathe vapours/dust.

Do not smoke.

Persons susceptible to skin sensitisation problems or asthma, allergies, chronic or recurrent respiratory disease should not be employed in any process in which this mixture is being used.

Container hazardous when empty.

Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.

Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.

For personal protection see section 8.

Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:       

Normal measures for preventive fire protection.

Hygiene measures:       

Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday. When using do not eat or drink. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. When using do not smoke.

Requirements for storage areas and containers:       

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Observe label precautions.

Storage class (TRGS 510):

8A, Combustible, corrosive hazardous materials

Other data:       

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.
