Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire.
5. Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
This material increases the risk of fire and may aid combustion. In a fire or if heated, a
pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.
Special protective
equipment for fire-fighters
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.
:
Special exposure hazards :
None known.
Suitable :
Not suitable :
Hazardous thermal
decomposition products
:
Decomposition products may include the following materials:
nitrogen oxides
metal oxide/oxides
Flammability of the product :
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources. No
flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from
upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash
spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect
spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or
diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations
(see Section 13). Do not absorb in sawdust or other combustible material. It may lead
to a fire risk when it dries out. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
Dispose via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may
pose the same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see section 1 for emergency contact
information and section 13 for waste disposal.
Environmental precautions
6. Accidental release measures
:
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Personal precautions :
Large spill :
Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up
if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and
place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Do not absorb in sawdust or other
combustible material. It may lead to a fire risk when it dries out. Use spark-proof tools
and explosion-proof equipment. Dispose via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Small spill :
Methods for cleaning up
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking and
smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.
Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Do not ingest. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is
inadequate. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a
compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Keep away from combustible
material. Empty containers retain product residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse
container.
