5.1 Suitable extinguishing media:
5.1.1 Unsuitable extinguishing
media
5.2 Specific hazards:
5.3 Special protective equipment:
5.4 Further information:
Dry chemical extinguishing media, water spray jet.
High volume water jet.
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread
fire. Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to
health.
Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite. Risk of ignition followed by flame
propagation or secondary explosions shall be prevented by avoiding
accumulation of dust.
Standard procedure for chemical fires. Use
extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment. In
the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe
fumes.
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in
accordance with official regulations.
6. Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions:
6.2 Environmental precautions:
6.3 Methods for cleaning up:
Use personal protective equipment/clothing (see Section 8). Avoid eye
contact and dust formation and remove all sources of ignition. Sweep up
to prevent slipping hazard.
Prevent entry into drainage systems, or surface water.
Sweep/shovel into suitable container for disposal.
Avoid raising dust and ensure adequate ventilation.
Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.
7.1 Handling:
7.2 Storage:
7.3 Precautions:
7.4 Specific end use(s):
Handle in a well ventilated area. Install local exhaust at 3D printers area is
recommended when many printers are operated at once. Avoid contact with
heated or molten product. Use personal protective equipment (see Section 8).
Avoid dust formation and electrostatic charge. Keep away from fire ignition
sources.
Protect from water, moisture and direct sunlight. Store material in dry rooms and
keep material in closed packaging/container with desiccant when not in use.
Store at ambient temperatures. Avoid all sources of ignition.
No special precautions required.
