Specification

grounded containers. Static electricity accumulation may be
significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water
or other contaminants. Material will float and may ignite on surface
of water. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must
be worn in case of fire.
Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Fire fighting
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.
Specific methods
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of
other involved materials.
General fire hazards
No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind
of spill/leak. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing
during clean-up. Do not breathe mist or vapor. Do not touch damaged
containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective
clothing. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be
advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal
protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning
up
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in
immediate area). Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Use only non-sparking tools. Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.)
away from spilled material.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the
spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to
prevent spreading. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place
into containers. Prevent product from entering drains. Following
product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: 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.
Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if
safe to do so. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the
ground. Inform appropriate managerial or supervisory personnel of all
environmental releases.
