Special protective equipment : Use personal protective equipment.

for firefighters

Specific extinguishing : Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Fire residues
methods and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed
of in accordance with local regulations. In the event of fire
and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

Section: 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, : Remove all sources of ignition. Refer to protective measures listed
protective equipment and in sections 7 and 8.
emergency procedures

Environmental precautions : Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water.

Methods and materials for : Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Stop leak if safe to do
containment and cleaning up so. Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible
absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth,
vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local /
national regulations (see section 13). Flush away traces with water.
For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain material to
ensure runoff does not reach a waterway.

Section: 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Advice on safe handling : Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which
might cause ignition of organic vapours). Keep away from fire,
sparks and heated surfaces. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Use only with adequate ventilation.

Conditions for safe storage : Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep in a cool, well-
ventilated place. Keep away from oxidizing agents. Keep out of
reach of children. Keep container tightly closed. Store in suitable
labeled containers.
