Fire Fighting Media SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder.
and Instructions LARGE FIRE: Use water spray, fog or foam. Do not use water jet.
Protective Clothing (Fire) Firefighters should wear full bunker gear, including a positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal Precautions Immediately contact emergency personnel. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable protective
equipment (Section 8). Follow all fire fighting procedures (Section 5).
Environmental Precautions and If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilled material. For small spills add absorbent (soil may be
used in the absence of other suitable materials) scoop up material and place in a sealed, liquid-proof
Clean-up Methods
container for disposal. For large spills dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff
does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate container for disposal. Minimize contact
of spilled material with soils to prevent runoff to surface waterways. See Section 13 for Waste Disposal
Information.
Personal Protection in Case of a Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a
specialist BEFORE handling this product.
