General information
5. Fire-fighting measures
Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Suitable extinguishing media
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may rupture when exposed to heat or flame.
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
Fire-fighting
equipment/instructions
In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without
risk. Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up.
Extremely flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may rupture when
exposed to heat or flame.
General fire hazards
6. Accidental release measures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. Many vapors are heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or
confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing
during clean-up. Emergency personnel need self-contained breathing equipment. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate
closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. Stop the flow of material, if this is
without risk. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
Environmental precautions
7. Handling and storage
Pressurized container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not use if spray button is missing
or defective. Do not spray on a naked flame or any other incandescent material. Do not smoke
while using or until sprayed surface is thoroughly dry. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill, grind, or
expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. Use caution around
energized equipment. The metal container will conduct electricity if it contacts a live source. This
may result in injury to the user from electrical shock and/or flash fire. Deliberate misuse by
concentrating and inhaling the contents is illegal and can be harmful of fatal. Inhalation abuse can
cause death. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Observe good industrial hygiene practices. For product usage instructions, see the product label.
