5. Fire-fighting measures
Water fog. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may
be used for small fires only.
Suitable extinguishing media
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source
of ignition and flash back. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become
electrostatically charged. If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can
occur. Material will float and may ignite on surface of water. During fire, gases hazardous to health
may be formed.
Specific hazards arising from

equipment/instructions
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk.
Flammable liquid and vapor.
General fire hazards
6. Accidental release measures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or
flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up.
Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Ventilate closed
spaces before entering them. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.
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. Take precautionary measures
against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. This product is miscible in water. Prevent
product from entering drains. Dike far ahead of spill for later disposal.
Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Avoid release to the environment. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all
environmental releases. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid discharge into
drains, water courses or onto the ground. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination.
Environmental precautions
7. Handling and storage
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of
ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. When using do not smoke. Explosion-proof general
and local exhaust ventilation. Minimize fire risks from flammable and combustible materials
(including combustible dust and static accumulating liquids) or dangerous reactions with
incompatible materials. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Use non-sparking
tools and explosion-proof equipment. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin,
and clothing. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid release to the environment. Observe good industrial
hygiene practices. For product usage instructions, see the product label.
Precautions for safe handling
Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Eliminate sources of ignition. Avoid spark
promoters. Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Store in a
well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
