Fire Hazards in Presence
of Various Substances
SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder.
Fire Fighting Media
LARGE FIRE: Use alcohol foam, water spray or fog. Cool containing vessels with water jet in order
and Instructions
to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion.
Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Protective Clothing (Fire)
No sparking tools should be used. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Special Remarks on Fire
Hazards
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Dilute with water and mop up, or absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
Small Spill and Leak
disposal container.
Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Stop leak if without risk. Absorb with DRY
Large Spill and Leak
earth, sand or other non-combustible material. Do not touch spilled material. Prevent entry into sewers,
basements or confined areas; dike if needed.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep container closed. Use only with adequate ventilation. To
Handling
avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by grounding and bonding containers
and equipment before transferring material. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and
material handling) equipment.
Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep
Storage
container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or
flame).
