5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Sprayed water jet, foam, extinguishing powder, C02, sand.
Extinguishing
media:
If involved in a fire: hydrogen chloride, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen
Hazards from
cyanide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides may be evolved.
combustion
products:
Fight fire in early stages if safe to do so. Wear respiratory protection.
Precautions for
Well ventilated areas - full face mask with combination filter (offers no
fire fighters:
protection from carbon monoxide).
Enclosed premises - respirator with independent air supply.
Contain firefighting water. Do not permit firefighting water to enter drains
and waterways if at all possible.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Prevent spillage from spreading or entering waterways and drains. Work from upwind side of
spill. Spread impregnated sawdust over spillage, sweep up and place in a sealable container.
Avoid breathing the dust. Clean affected area with aqueous detergent and a small amount of
water. Absorb this detergent/water with absorbent material. Do not eat, drink or smoke during
clean-up operation. All possible steps should be taken to stop the product entering waterways
and drains to prevent contamination of aquatic environments.
