5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Full protective equipment including self-contained breathing apparatus should be used. Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent
pressure buildup and possible autoignition or explosion when exposed to extreme heat. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to
any waterway, sewer or drain to prevent environmental contamination.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Avoid dispersal of spilled material or runoff and prevent contact with soil and entry into drains, sewers or waterways.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wear all appropriate protective equipment designated in Section 8. Remove all sources of ignition. Ventilate the area.
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Not considered to be explosion hazard.
Closed containers may explode due to the buildup of pressure when exposed to extreme heat. During emergency conditions overexposure to
decomposition products may cause a health hazard. Symptoms may not be immediately apparent. Obtain medical attention.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautions for safe handling
Wear all appropriate personal protective equipment specified in Section 8. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. If normal use of material
presents a respiratory hazard, use only adequate ventilation or wear an appropriate respirator. Wash contaminated clothing and shoes before
