SECTION 5 ?FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard
This material is not combustible under normal conditions. However, it can react with certain metals to
produce flammable hydrogen gas. On burning will emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters should wear self-
contained breathing apparatus if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion
Keep containers cool by spraying with water to prevent pressure building up inside the drums, causing
them to burst.
Extinguishing Media
Use water spray, `alcohol' foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Avoid using large quantities of water.
SECTION 6 ?ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spills
Increase ventilation. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and inhalation of
vapours or mists. Contain using sand or soil ?prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (
soil, sand vermiculite or other inert material). Neutralise with lime or soda ash. Collect and seal in
properly labelled drums for disposal. If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise local
emergency services.
SECTION 7 ?HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling : Avoid skin and eye contact
Storage : Under normal weather conditions store in a well-ventilated area.
