Advice for Firefighters
Precautionary Measures Fire: Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
Firefighting Instructions: Use water spray or fog for cooling exposed containers. Do not get water inside containers. Do not apply
water stream directly at source of leak.
Protection During Firefighting: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon oxides (CO, CO
2
). Silicon oxides. Hydrogen chloride. Nitrogen compounds.
Other information: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Reference to Other Sections
Refer to section 9 for flammability properties.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures
General Measures: Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do NOT breathe (dust, vapor, mist, gas). Keep away from combustible
material. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. No smoking.
For Non-Emergency Personnel
Protective Equipment: Use recommended respiratory protection. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
Emergency Procedures: Eliminate ignition sources. Evacuate unnecessary personnel.
For Emergency Personnel
Protective Equipment: Use recommended respiratory protection. Wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection.
Emergency Procedures: Stop leak if safe to do so. Ventilate area.
Environmental Precautions
Do not allow to enter drains or water courses. Notify authorities if liquid enters sewers or public waters.
Methods and Material for Containment and Cleaning Up
For Containment: Absorb and/or contain spill with inert material, then place in suitable container. Do not take up in combustible
material such as: saw dust or cellulosic material.
Methods for Cleaning Up: Clear up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Use only non-sparking tools.

See heading 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Handling
Additional Hazards When Processed: Self-accelerating decomposition may occur if the specific control temperature is not
maintained. Self-Accelerating Decomposition Temperature (SADT) is 55 °C (131 °F).
Handling Temperature: 30 °C (86 °F)
Hygiene Measures: Do no eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and
safety procedures. Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating, drinking, or smoking and again
when leaving work. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities
Technical Measures: Ensure all national/local regulations are observed. Ground/bond container and receiving equipment.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, fog.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Any extinguishing media other than water may be ineffective, as this product is its own oxygen
source. Do not use a heavy water stream. A heavy water stream may spread burning liquid.
Fire Hazard: Organic Peroxide Category E. Decomposes exothermically on exposure to temperature rise. Heating may cause a fire.
Explosion Hazard: Heat may build pressure, rupturing closed containers, spreading fire and increasing risk of burns and injuries.
Reactivity: ‘Oxidizing’: substances and preparations which exhibit highly exothermic reactions when in contact with other
substances, particularly flammable substances. Will continue to burn in the absence of air.
