5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Hazards
Fire fighting measures are not applicable as FP 350 is a fire extinguishing medium. If product containers are
involved in fire, then a suitable extinguishing agent should be applied.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not breathe mists, aerosols.
Personal protection: Wear protective clothing specified for normal operations.
Environmental precautions: SPILLAGE: The practice of washing spills into drains should be avoided if at
all possible and should under no circumstances be allowed without first
consulting the local Water Authority and the Environment Agency.
Clean-up methods - small Absorb or contain liquid with sand, earth or spill control material. Shovel up
spillage: and place in a labelled, sealable container for subsequent safe disposal.
______________________________________________________________________________________________
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
No special handling techniques required. For best results, the product should be stored in sealed, original containers
above -10oC and below 40oC. Freezing and thawing do not affect the substance properties but care must be taken to
avoid freezing the container and its contents since the expansion of the container contents may cause cracking of a
completely rigid container as ice forms.
Personal Protective Equipment - Fire Fighting
Angus Fire Foam Concentrates will be used by professional fire-fighters to control and extinguish flammable liquid
fires. The nature of this process may involve exposure to heat, flame and possibly toxic vapours and fumes. It is
normal procedure to wear appropriately designed personal protective equipment designed for use in firefighting
situations. Angus Fire advises that this form of personal protective equipment should be used if the packaging
materials become involved in fire.

Stability
Generally stable. As with all aqueous solutions FP 350 should be excluded from contact with any materials
which have violent reactions with water.
Hazardous Decomposition Products
Do not expose containers to heat or flame, since the containers are made from high density polyethylene and will
burn.
Thermal decomposition of containers and/or products may generate acrid smoke and fumes and traces of
Na2O,Cl-,SOx,NOx, and HF.
