SECTION 5: Fire-fighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media

In case of fire: Use a fire fighting agent suitable for flammable liquids or gases such as dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build pressure and explode.

Hazardous Decomposition or By-Products

Substance Condition

Carbon monoxide. During combustion.
Carbon dioxide. During combustion.
Irritant vapours or gases. During combustion.

5.3. Advice for fire-fighters

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. Cover, but do not seal for 48 hours. For large spills, if necessary, get
assistance from professional spill clean up team. For small spills, carefully neutralise spill by adding appropriate dilute acid
such as vinegar. Work slowly to avoid boiling or spattering. Continue to add neutralising agent until reaction stops. Let cool
before collecting.

6.4. Reference to other sections

Refer to Section 8 and Section 13 for more information

back. Keep away from reactive metals (eg. Aluminum, zinc etc.) to avoid the formation of hydrogen gas that could create an
explosion hazard. Avoid contact with oxidising agents (eg. chlorine, chromic acid etc.)

7.2. Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities

Store away from acids. Store away from oxidising agents.

7.3. Specific end use(s)
