Containers may explode when heated. Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Keep product and
empty container away from heat and sources of ignition. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.

Hazardous Combustion Products

Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear.

6. Accidental release measures

Personal Precautions Use personal protective equipment as required. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all
sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Environmental Precautions Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system.

Methods for Containment and Clean Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Up Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.

7. Handling and storage

Handling Wear personal protective equipment/face protection. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid
ingestion and inhalation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep away from open
flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Use only non-sparking tools. To avoid ignition
of vapors by static electricity discharge, all metal parts of the equipment must be grounded.
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Storage. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep away from
