Water may not effectively extinguish fire; however, it should be used to keep fire-exposed containers and surfaces cool and
prevent explosive rupture.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For large spill, or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapours, in accordance with
good industrial hygiene practice. Warning: A motor could be an ignition source and could cause flammable gases or vapours
in the spill area to burn or explode.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid release to the environment.
6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Collect as much of the spilled material as possible.
6.4. Reference to other sections
Refer to Section 8 and Section 13 for more information
SECTION 7: Handling and storage

when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Vapours may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an
ignition source and flash back. For industrial or professional use only. Avoid contact with oxidising agents (eg. chlorine,
chromic acid etc.)
7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities
Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from acids. Store away from oxidising agents.
