5.1. Suitable extinguishing media
In case of fire: Use a fire fighting agent suitable for flammable liquids and solids such as dry chemical or carbon dioxide to
extinguish.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode.
Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products
Substance Condition
Hydrocarbons During Combustion
Carbon monoxide During Combustion
Carbon dioxide During Combustion
5.3. Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed containers and surfaces cool and
prevent explosive rupture.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Evacuate area. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Use only non-sparking tools.
Ventilate the area with fresh air. For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or
exhaust vapors, in accordance with good industrial hygiene practice. Warning! A motor could be an ignition source and could
cause flammable gases or vapors in the spill area to burn or explode. Refer to other sections of this SDS for information
regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or
bodies of water.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Contain spill. Cover spill area with a fire-extinguishing foam. An appropriate aqueous film forming foam (AFFF) is
recommended. Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially
available inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Remember, adding an absorbent
material does not remove a physical, health, or environmental hazard. Collect as much of the spilled material as possible
using non-sparking tools. Place in a metal container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities. Clean up residue
with an appropriate solvent selected by a qualified and authorized person. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Read and follow
safety precautions on the solvent label and SDS. Seal the container. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Avoid breathing of dust created by cutting, sanding, grinding or machining. Keep out of reach of children. Do not handle
until all safety precautions have been read and understood. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No
smoking. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary measures
against static discharge. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do
not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with oxidizing agents (eg.
chlorine, chromic acid etc.) Wear low static or properly grounded shoes. Use personal protective equipment (gloves,
respirators, etc.) as required. To minimize the risk of ignition, determine applicable electrical classifications for the process
using this product and select specific local exhaust ventilation equipment to avoid flammable vapor accumulation.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep cool. Keep container tightly closed. Protect from sunlight. Store away from heat.
Store away from acids. Store away from strong bases. Store away from oxidizing agents. Store away from areas where
