SECTION 5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Unsuitable extinguishing media : Water in a jet.
Suitable extinguishing media : Foam, water spray or fog. Dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, sand or earth may be
used for small fires only. Water or fog may cause frothing which can be violent, especially if sprayed into containers of hot
or burning liquid.
Specific hazards during fire fighting : Not classified as flammable but will burn. Hazardous combustion products may
include oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide. Cool fire exposed containers with water.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters : Full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus.
SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions : Avoid contact with skin, eyes, clothing Do not breathe fumes, mists, aerosols, spray
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Evacuate the area of all non-essential personnel. Shut off leaks, if possible
without personal risk.
Environmental precautions : Prevent contamination of soil and water. Prevent from spreading or entering into drains,
ditches or rivers by using sand, earth, or other appropriate barriers.
Clean-up methods - small spillage : Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth or spill control material. Shovel up and
place in a labeled, sealable container for subsequent safe disposal. Put leaking containers in a labeled drum or overdrum.
Scrub contaminated surfaces with detergent solution retain washings as contaminated waste.
Clean-up methods - large spillage : Transfer to a labeled, sealable container for product recovery or safe disposal.
Treat residues as for small spillage.
Additional advice : See Section 13 for information on disposal.
SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Advice on safe handling : Observe all relevant local regulations. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing do not
breathe mists, aerosols, spray, vapour Use local exhaust extraction. Storage
Requirements for storage areas and containers: Store in accordance with local regulations. Keep container tightly
closed and in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep container dry. Keep away from open flames and high temperatures.

SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL ROTECTION
Protective measures : Wear appropriate respirator and full-body protective clothing. Environmental exposure controls
Observe all relevant local regulations.
Engineering measures : Use local exhaust ventilation.
Eye protection : Monogoggles
Hand protection : Neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves gauntlet type
Skin and body protection : Standard issue work clothes safety boots - chemical resistant without lace holes in the event
of risk from splashing wear PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber apron.
Respiratory protection : If risk of inhalation, use approved respirator (e.g. CEN, NIOSH/OSHA, AS) as required to
prevent over exposure. Use an air-supplied respirator where high concentrations are expected, or an air-purifying
respirator for organic vapours (with combined particulate filter if mist is present). Note: an air-supplied respirator should
always be used in confined spaces.
