Suitable extinguishing media:

Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers. Carbon dioxide fire

extinguishers. Foam. Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred. General

purpose synthetic foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but will be less effective. Water fog or fine spray. Dry chemical fire extinguishers.

Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.

Special hazards arising from the chemical:    During  a  fire,  smoke  may  contain the original  material in addition to combustion

products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Combustion

products may include and are not limited to: Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.

Respiratory protection:

According to GBZ2.1, the OELs of components are not established.

No standard has been established.

Ensure adequate ventilation. The workplace shall have safe place to shower, clean eyes and body, and place for safe care.

Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the

exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit   requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. For most conditions no respiratory protection should

be needed; however, if discomfort is experienced, use an approved air-purifying respirator. Use the following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor cartridge, type A (boiling point >65 ºC)

Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Examples of preferred glove barrier

materials include: Butyl rubber. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene.

Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). Viton. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with a protection class of 4 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 120 minutes

according to EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a protection class of 1 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 10 minutes

according to EN 374) is recommended.

Use chemical goggles. If exposure causes eye discomfort, use a full-face respirator. Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this material. Selection of specific

items such as face shield, boots, apron, or full body suit will depend on the task. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands after handling. Do not eat and drink in the workplace.
