Fire fighting
Special Hazards during Fire Fighting: Combustion products are toxic and/or irritant. Measures
have to be taken to prevent the contaminated extinguishing agent from seeping into the ground or
from spreading uncontrollably.
Protective Equipment for Fire Fighting: Use self contained breathing apparatus. Wear protective
equipment.
Swiss Fire Prevention Class: F3 L CO
6. Accidental Release Measures
Environmental Protection Measures following Accidents: Soak up with absorptive material such
as sand, soil, diatomaceous earth, etc. Prevent material from spreading, e.g. by damming in with
absorptive material. Collect material in specially marked, tightly closing containers. Spilled product

13. Disposal Considerations
Disposal
Product Disposal: Pay attention to protective clothing and measures. Cover up product with
absorptive material such as sand, soil, diatomaceous earth, etc. Collect material in specially marked,
tightly closing containers. Clean dirty areas with water and detergent. Put washing water in
containers too, to avoid any contamination of surface and ground water, water supplies and drains.
Hose down the area for a prolonged period. Heavily contaminated soil layers have to be dug out
down to clean soil. Spilled product cannot be used further and must be disposed of. If safe disposal is
not possible, contact the manufacturer, the dealer or the local representative and dispose of in an
incinerator approved for chemicals.
Container Disposal: Dispose of empty containers in an incinerator approved for chemicals.
Damaged containers: Place original containers in specially marked larger ones. Check possibilities
of recycling large empty containers, drums and barrels.
