Unsuitable extinguishing Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. media Specific hazards arising from The product is flammable, and heating may generate vapors which may form explosive vapor/air the chemical mixtures. Thermal decomposition or combustion may liberate toxic gases or fumes. Special protective equipment Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure and precautions for firefighters demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask. Fire-fighting Wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure equipmentlinstructions demand breathing apparatus, protective clothing and face mask.Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or any discoloration of tanks due to fire. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. In the event of fire, cool tanks with water spray. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible,withdraw from area and let fire burn.Water runoff can cause environmental damage. Use compatible foam to minimize vapor generation as needed. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, Keep unnecessary personnel away. Local authorities should be advised if significant spills cannot protective equipment and be contained. Keep upwind. Keep out of low areas.Ventilate closed spaces before entering. Do emergency procedures not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. See Section 8 of the SDS for Personal Protective Equipment. Methods and materials for Eliminate all ignition sources(no smoking,flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Local containment and cleaning up authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. This material is a water pollutant and should be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment. Small Spills:Absorb spill with vermiculite or other inert material,then place in a container for chemical waste. Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.This material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste. Large Spills: Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal. Prevent product from entering drains. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system. Should not be released into the environment. Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations. Environmental precautions If facility or operation has an 'oil or hazardous substance contingency plan", activate its procedures. Stay upwind and away from spill.Wear appropriate protective equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant. Do not enter or stay in area unless monitoring indicates that it is safe to do so. Isolate hazard area and restrict entry to emergency crew. Flammable. Review Firefighting Measures, Section 5, before proceeding with clean up. Keep all sources of ignition (flames, smoking,flares, etc.)and hot surfaces away from release. Contain spill in smallest possible area. Recover as much product as possible(e.g. by vacuuming). Stop leak if it can be done without risk. Use water spray to disperse vapors. Use compatible foam to minimize vapor generation as needed. Spilled material may be absorbed by an appropriate absorbent, and then handled in accordance with environmental regulations. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm drains, other unauthorized treatment or drainage systems and natural waterways. Contact fire authorities and appropriate federal, state and local agencies. If spill of any amount is made into or upon navigable waters,the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines, contact the National Response Center at 1-800-424-8802. For highway or railways spills, contact Chemtrec at 1-800-424-9300. 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Eliminate sources of ignition.Avoid spark promoters. Ground/bond container and equipment. These alone may be insufficient to remove static electricity. Wear personal protective equipment.Avoid breathing mist/vapors/spray.Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Do not taste or swallow.Avoid prolonged exposure. Use only with adequate ventilation.Wash thoroughly after handling. The product is combustible, and heating may generate vapors which may form explosive vapor/air mixtures. DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight.Take precautionary measures against static discharges.All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof equipment.When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.Avoid release to the environment.
