Combustion products:

Fire will produce smoke containing hazardous combustion products (see section 10).

Advice for firefighters

Special protective equipment for firefighters:

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.

Further information:

Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains.

Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Reference to other sections

Additional advice:

For personal protection see Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling

Advice on safe handling:

For personal protection see Exposure Controls/Personal Protection.

Persons with a history of skin sensitisation problems or asthma, allergies, chronic or recurrent respiratory disease should not be employed in any process in which this mixture is being used.

Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the application area.

Container may be opened only under exhaust ventilation hood.

Open drum carefully as content may be under pressure.

Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national regulations.

Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Advice on protection against fire and explosion:

Use explosion protected equipment.

Avoid formation of aerosol.

Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.

No sparking tools should be used.

Keep away from reducing agents (e.g. amines), acids, alkalies and heavy metal compounds (e.g. accelerators, driers, metal soaps).

Do not cut or weld on or near this container even when empty.

Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

Keep away from combustible material.

Temperature class:

It is recommended to use electrical equipment of temperature group T3. However, autoignition can never be excluded.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Requirements for storage areas and containers:

Prevent unauthorized access.

No smoking.

Electrical installations / working materials must comply with the technological safety standards.

Keep only in original container.

Store away from other materials.

Minimum storage temperature:

Avoid temperatures below: -20 °C

Maximum storage temperature:

25 °C

Other data:

No decomposition if stored and applied as directed.

If product freezes or separates, contact Akzo Nobel

Specific end use(s)

Specific use(s):

Hazardous decomposition products

Hazardous decomposition products:

2-Propanol

tert-Butanol

Acetone

Methane

Carbon oxides

Thermal decomposition:

SADT - (Self accelerating decomposition temperature) is the lowest temperature at which self accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the packaging as used in transport. A dangerous self-accelerating decomposition reaction and, under certain circumstances, explosion or fire can be caused by thermal decomposition at and above the SADT. Contact with incompatible substances can cause decomposition below the SADT.

Self-Accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT):

70 °C

Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Product:

The product should not be allowed to enter drains, water courses or the soil.

Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with chemical or used container.

Hazardous waste

Dispose of contents/container in accordance with local regulation.

Contaminated packaging:

Empty remaining contents.

Dispose of as unused product.

Do not burn, or use a cutting torch on, the empty drum.

Due to the high risk of contamination recycling/recovery is not recommended.

Follow all warnings even after the container is emptied.
