5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry Sand, foam, dry powder or CO2. Keep fire exposed containers cool by spraying with water.
UNSUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: A self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing
should be worn in fire conditions.
FURTHER INFORMATION: Burning produces Carbon Oxides, Nitrogen Oxides, Ammonia, Formaldehyde vapours, and
under certain conditions of combustion, traces of other toxic substances cannot be excluded.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PERSONAL PECAUTIONS: Ensure adequate ventilation.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS: Prevent entry into drains. Do not contaminate surface water. Avoid subsoil
penetration. METHODS OF CLEANING UP: Pick - up mechanically. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with
regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
HANDLING: Provide exhaust ventilation if dust is formed. Suitable industrial vacuum cleaners or central exhaust
ventilation equipment must be used for taking up dust
STORAGE: Keep only in original container. Store in cool, dry place away from heat, sparks, flame and direct
sunlight.
Keep container closed to prevent water absorption and contamination. Keep away from sources of
ignition ?No Smoking.
STORAGE TEMPERATURE: Preferably not exceeding 35 篊.
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE PRACTICES: Wash face and hands thoroughly with the soap and water after use and
before eating, drinking, smoking or applying cosmetics.

ENGINEERING MEASURES: No special precautions required.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
RESPIRATORS: Wear suitable respiratory protective equipment if exposure to levels above the occupational exposure
limit is likely. A suitable mask with filter type A may be appropriate. In the event of formation of
particularly high levels of dust a self-contained breathing apparatus may be appropriate.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses or chemical splash goggles.
GLOVES: Wear suitable gloves. PVA/Polyethylene laminate and supported PVA gloves offer the best protection.
Gloves should be changed regularly and if excessive exposure has occurred.
OTHER: Wear suitable protective clothing.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES: Do not breathe vapours/dust. Keep away from sources of ignition ?No smoking.
Avoid contact with skin, eye & clothing.
