Section 5. Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing
media

: Use an extinguishing agent suitable for the surrounding fire. In case of fire, use water
spray (fog), foam or dry chemical.

Unsuitable extinguishing
media

: None known.

Specific hazards arising

from the chemical

Special protective actions

for fire-fighters

: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training.
: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Section 6. Accidental release measures

Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures

: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Put on appropriate personal
protective equipment. Hazard of slipping on spilled product.
Environmental precautions
: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Methods and materials for
: Move containers from spill area. Vacuum or sweep up material and place in a
designated, labeled waste container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal
containment and cleaning up
contractor. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact information and Section 13 for
waste disposal. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas.

Section 7. Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures

: Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.
Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking. Put on
appropriate personal protection equipment. Eating, drinking and smoking should be
prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and processed.
Conditions for safe storage : Store between the following temperatures: -20 to 40C (-4 to 104F). Store in
accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from direct
sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials (see
Section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for
use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to
prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination. Empty containers or liners may retain some product
residues. It is recommended to store ion exchange resins at temperatures above the
freezing point of water. If the resin should become frozen, the resin should not be
mechanically handled and should be left to thaw out gradually at ambient temperature.
It must be completely thawed before handling or use. No attempt should be made to
accelarate the thawing process.

Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Occupational exposure limits
No exposure limit value known.
Appropriate engineering
controls

: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne

contaminants.

Personal protection
Hygiene measures

Respiratory protection
Skin protection
Eye/face protection
Medical Surveillance

LEWATIT S 1567

: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate
techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers
are close to the workstation location.
: 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.
: Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. Suitable protective footwear.
: If contact with product is possible, wear safety glasses with side shields.
