Alcohol resistant foam. Water fog. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source
of ignition and flash back. During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk.
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. This product contains tetrahydrofuran that may form explosive
organic peroxide when exposed to air or light or with age.

emergency procedures
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Environmental precautions
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area).
Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist or
vapor. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective
clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised if
significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Take
precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep combustibles
(wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. This product is miscible in water.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Use water spray to reduce vapors or
divert vapor cloud drift. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Cover with plastic sheet to
prevent spreading. Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the
product and place into a container for later disposal. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer,
basements or confined areas. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
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
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Do not handle, store or open near an open flame,
sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Explosion-proof
general and local exhaust ventilation. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All
equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and
clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Do not taste or swallow. When using, do not eat, drink or
smoke. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
Store locked up. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Prevent electrostatic charge
build-up by using common bonding and grounding techniques. Store in a cool, dry place out of
direct sunlight. Store in original tightly closed container. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store
away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS).
