Fire-fighting measures

Extinguishing media:

Material will not burn.  Non-combustible. Use a fire fighting agent suitable for surrounding fire.

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:

Exposure to extreme heat can give rise to thermal decomposition.

Advice for fire-fighters:

When fire fighting conditions are severe and total thermal decomposition of the product is possible, wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained, positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, bunker coat and pants, bands around arms, waist and legs, face mask, and protective covering for exposed areas of the head.  No unusual effects are anticipated during fire extinguishing operations. Avoid breathing the products and substances that may result from the thermal decomposition of the product or the other substances in the fire zone. Keep containers cool with water spray when exposed to fire to avoid rupture.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:

Evacuate area.   Ventilate the area with fresh air.  Refer to other sections of this SDS for information regarding physical and health hazards, respiratory protection, ventilation, and personal protective equipment.

Environmental precautions:

Avoid release to the environment.   For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or bodies of water.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:

Contain spill.  Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially available inorganic absorbent material.  Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry.  Remember, adding an absorbent material does not remove a physical, health, or environmental hazard.  Collect as much of the spilled material as possible.  Place in a closed container approved for transportation by appropriate authorities.  Clean up  residue with an appropriate solvent selected by a qualified and authorized person.  Ventilate the area with fresh air. Read and follow safety precautions on the solvent label and SDS.  Seal the container.  Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.

Refer to SDS Section 8 and Section 13 for more information.

Handling and storage

Precautions for safe handling:

Do not breathe thermal decomposition products.  Avoid skin contact with hot material.  For industrial or professional use only.  Store work clothes separately from other clothing,  food and tobacco products.  Avoid breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray.   Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product.   Wash thoroughly after handling.  Avoid release to the environment.   No smoking: Smoking while using this product can result in contamination of the tobacco and/or smoke and lead to the formation of hazardous decomposition products.

Conditions for safe storage including any incompatibilities:

Store in a well-ventilated place.   Keep container tightly closed.   Store away from heat.  Store away from strong bases.

Specific end use(s):

See information in SDS Section 7.1 and 7.2 for handling and storage recommendations.  See SDS Section 8 for exposure controls and personal protection recommendations.
