: > 100掳C
Flash point
Product does not support combustion.
: Use an extinguishing agent suitable for surrounding fires.
Fire fighting media and
instructions
Dike area of fire to prevent product run-off.
No specific hazard.
Special protective equipment : Fire fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained

for fire-fighters
mode.
Section 6. Accidental release measures
Personal : Ventilate area of leak or spill. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless
wearing appropriate protective equipment (Section 8). Stop leak if without risk. Prevent entry
precautions
into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.
Environmental : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and
sewers.
precautions
Methods for : 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
cleaning up
place in a sealed, liquid-proof 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.--
Section 7. Handling and storage
Handling : Do not ingest. Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing. Keep container closed. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage : Keep out of the reach of children. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a cool, well-
ventilated area.
Store between 40 and 0掳C
Section 8. Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering : Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of
vapors below their respective occupational exposure limits. When working with conentrate
controls
have eyewash available.
Personal protection
Eyes : Use Chemical splash goggles.
Hands : Use chemical resistant, impervious gloves.
Skin : No special protective clothing is required.
Respiratory : Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a
risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or
anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the
selected respirator.
