SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable fire-fighting agents:

Use dry powder, foam, carbon dioxide
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons:

Water jet
Specific hazards in the event of fire:

Combustible, keep away from open flame, no smoking
Protection of fire-fighters (use of protective equipment, etc.).:

Use self-contained breathing equipment if in confined place
SECTION 6. ACCIDENT RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Use gloves, face shield
Environmental precautions:
Do not allow to flow into drainage system.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:

Collect leakage in sealable containers, soak up with sand or other inert absorbent and
remove to safe place. Wash site with sodium bicarbonate solution or soda ash. Wipe clean.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling:

Use gloves and wear goggles when handling.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:

Keep in a cool and dry place, avoid extreme heat and cold.
Avoid direct fire. Keep separate from oxidants.
Store in clean, dry, preferably stainless steel vessels.
In bulk, store at about 10 deg C above melting point or ambient. Temperature higher than
necessary degrades quality at rate dependent on time and temperature of exposure.
Exposure to ultraviolet light and sunlight must be minimised to prevent quality loss.
