Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards
Pressurized containers may explode in heat of fire.
Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting
Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus as appropriate for specific fire
conditions.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Contain and absorb using appropriate inert material. Transfer into suitable containers for disposal.
Prevent skin and eye contact. Wear appropriate protective equipment. Prevent the material from
entering drains or watercourses.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Pressurized extinguishers should be properly stored and secured to prevent falling or being knocked
over. Do not drag, slide or roll extinguishers. Do not drop extinguishers or permit them to strike
against each other. Never apply flame or localized heat directly to any part of the extinguisher or
plastic container. Store pressurized extinguishers and plastic containers away from high heat sources.
