Fire-fighting measures

Suitable extinguishing media:

water, extinguishing powder, foam, carbon dioxide.

Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons:

-

Special exposure hazards arising from the substance or preparation itself, combustion products, resulting gases:

Hazardous combustion products: hydrogen chloride, nitrous gases.

Special protective equipment for fire fighting:

Use respiratory protection independent of recirculated air.

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions:

Keep unprotected persons away. Task force: Use tightly fitting chemical protection suit (see section 8).

Wear personal protection equipment (see section 8). Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling mists and vapours. Observe wind direction.

Environmental precautions:

Contain any fluid that runs out using suitable material (e.g. earth). Prevent material from entering sewers or surface waters.

Dispose of in prescribed marked containers. Observe local/state/federal regulations.

Methods for cleaning up:

For small amounts: Absorb with a liquid binding material such as diatomaceous earth and dispose of according to local/state/federal regulations.

Contain larger amounts and pump up into suitable containers.

Further information:

Eliminate all sources of ignition.

Handling and storage

General information:

Avoid exposure by technical measures or personal protective equipment.

Handling:

Precautions for safe handling:

Ensure adequate ventilation. Must be syphoned off in situ. Keep away from incompatible substances in accordance with section 10.2.

Precautions against fire and explosion:

Cool endangered containers with water. Flammable vapors may accumulate and form explosive mixtures with air in containers, process vessels,

including partial, empty and uncleaned containers and vessels, or other enclosed spaces. Keep away from sources of ignition and do not smoke.
