> Extinguishing Media
| Section 5 Fire Fighting Measures |
Suitable Extinguishing Media | Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray,alcohol-resistant foam. |
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media | Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter or spread fire. |
> Specific Hazards Arising from the Substance or Mixture
1 | Containers may explode when heated. |
2 | Fire exposed containers may vent contents through pressure relief valves. |
3 | May expansion or decompose explosively when heated or involved in fire. |
> Advice for Firefighters
1 | As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus （MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent)and full protective gear. |
2 | Fight fire from a safe distance, with adequate cover. |
3 | Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system. |
Section 6 Accidental Release Measure
> Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures
1 | Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. |
2 | Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. |
3 | Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist, gas or dust. |
> Environmental Precautions
1 | Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. |
2 | Discharge into the environment must be avoided. |
> Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
1 | Absorb spilled material in dry sand or inert absorbent. In case of large amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding. |
2 | Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations. |
3 | Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. |
Section 7 Handling and Storage
> Precautions for Handling
1 | Handling is performed in a well ventilated place. |
2 | Wear suitable protective equipment. |
3 | Avoid contact with skin and eyes. |
4 | Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/ hot surfaces. |
5 | Take precautionary measures against static discharges. |
> Precautions for Storage
1 | Keep containers tightly closed. |
2 | Keep containers in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. |
3 | Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/ hot surfaces. |
4 | Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers. |
