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.

6.4. Reference to other sections

Refer to Section 8 and Section 13 for more information

SECTION 7: Handling and storage
