Firefighters should wear a self-contained breathing apparatus. Decomposition releases oxygen
which may intensify fire.
Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self-contained breathing apparatus.
Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.
May include and are not limited to: Oxygen.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. 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.
Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Should not be released into the environment. Prevent entry

Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Large Spills: 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. 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.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid discharge into
drains, water courses or onto the ground. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or
confined areas. Do not discharge into lakes, streams, ponds or public waters.
