_______________________________________________________________________________________________
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, its combustion products, or released
gases
Under conditions giving incomplete combustion, hazardous gases produced may consist of
carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide (CO2)
Combustion gases of organic materials must in principle be graded as inhalation poisons
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 133).
Environmental precautions
Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Dike and collect water used to fight fire.
Other Information
Cool containers / tanks with water spray.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions
Avoid contact with the skin and the eyes. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Provide adequate ventilation.
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Isolate for 800
meters or 0.5 miles in all directions if tank, rail car, or tank truck in involved in fire. Evacuate downwind areas as
conditions warrant to prevent exposure and to allow vapors or fumes to dissipate. Spills may expose downwind areas to
toxic or flammable concentrations over considerable distances in some cases.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further leakage or spillage. Do not discharge into the drains/surface waters/groundwater.
Methods for cleaning Up
Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid binder, universal binder, sawdust). Keep in suitable,
closed containers for disposal. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations.
7. Handling and storage
Handling
Advice on safe handling
Provide sufficient air exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms.
Protection - fire and explosion:
Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge.
Ground and bond containers when transferring material. In case of fire, emergency cooling with water spray should
be available.
Storage
Technical measures/Storage conditions
Keep tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Handle and open container with care.

8. Exposure controls / personal protection
OSHA Exposure Limits
No exposure limits established.
ACGIH Exposure Limits
No exposure limits established.
Exposure controls
Engineering measures
General or dilution ventilation is frequently insufficient as the sole means of controlling employee exposure. Local
ventilation is usually preferred.
Protective Equipment
A safety shower and eyebath should be readily available.
General advice
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Use only in an area equipped with a safety
shower.
Respiratory protection
Based on workplace contaminant level and working limits of the respirator, use a respirator approved by NIOSH.
Skin protection:
Wear impervious clothing and gloves to prevent contact. Nitrile rubber is recommended. Other protective material may
be used, depending on the situation, if adequate degradation and permeation data is available. If other chemicals are
used in conjunction with this chemical, material selection should be based on protection for all chemicals present.
Eye/face protection:
Wear chemical goggles when there is a reasonable chance of eye contact.
