5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media: Alcohol resistant foam, CO2, dry chemical and water spray.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: waterjet
Hazards from combustion products: Fire will produce dense black smoke. Exposure to
decomposition products may cause a health hazards.
Precautions and equipment for fire fighters: Appropriate breathing apparatus may be required.
Additional information: Cool endangered containers with water in case of fire. Do not
allow the quenching water into the sewage system.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Remove ignition sources. Provide for sufficient ventilation. Do not inhale
the vapour. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Methods for clean up / collecting: Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent materials,
e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth and place in container
for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). Clean
preferably with a detergent; avoid use of solvents.
Environmental precautions: Do not empty into drains. If the product contaminates lakes, rivers or
sewages, inform appropriate authorities in accordance with local
regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Information for safe handling: The product should only be used in areas from which all naked lights and
other sources of ignition have been excluded. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Do not inhale the vapour. Do not eat or drink during work ?no
smoking. Comply with the health and safety at work laws.
Location: containers should be kept dry and sealed. Containers, which are opened,
must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.
Temperature conditions: Avoid heating and direct sunlight. Keep away from ignition sources ?no
smoking.
Storage incompatibilities: Keep away from oxidising agents, acids and alkalis.

Engineering controls: Provide adequate ventilation. Where reasonably practicable this should be
achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general
extraction. If theses are not sufficient to maintain concentrations of vapours
or particles below the OEL (Occupational Exposure Limit), suitable
respiratory protection must be worn.
Respiratory protection: If workplace limits are exceeded, a gas mask approved for this purpose
must be worn.
Glove type (AS2161): Nitrile rubber or PVC gloves.
Eye protection: Use safety glasses.
Clothing: Light protective clothing.
Other: Use barrier creams to protect skin from contact with the material. Always
wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet and after
finishing work. Observe the usual precautions when handling chemicals.
