Fire fightingequipment/instructions
Specific methods
Treat symptomatically
Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves.
Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials
Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire
Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials
No unusual fire or explosion hazards notedGeneral fire hazards
6. Accidental release measuresKeep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.Personal precautions,
protective equipment andemergency procedures
Following product recovery, flush area with water. Clean up promptly by sweeping or vacuum. Forwaste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Methods and materials forcontainment and cleaning up
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.Environmental precautions
7. Handling and storageAvoid prolonged exposure. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.Precautions for safe handling
Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10of the SDS).

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation ratesshould be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. Ifexposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Respiratory protection
Thermal hazards
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles)
Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the glove supplier.
Wear suitable protective clothingWhen workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators.
Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants.
