General fire hazards
Hazardous combustion
products
Dry chemicals. Foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
The product is combustible, and heating may generate vapors which may form explosive vapor/air
mixtures. Thermal decomposition or combustion may liberate toxic gases or fumes.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Cool containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove container, if no risk is involved.
Flammable liquid and vapor.
Carbon oxides.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Environmental precautions
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep
unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Do not touch
damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. For
personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material, then place in a sealed container for chemical
waste.
Large Spills: Flush with plenty of water. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or
confined areas. Dike for later disposal.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Conditions for safe storage,
including any incompatibilities
Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces. - No smoking. Eliminate all sources of
ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Ground/bond container and
