Fire Fighting Measures Flammable properties Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Protection of firefighters Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Special protective equipment for fire-fighters t flammable by OSHA criteria. Water. Use any media suitable for the surrounding fires. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. 6. Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for containment Methods for cleaning up Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep unnecessary personnel away. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Should not be released into the environment. Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Other information 7. Handling and Storage Handling Storage Never return spills in original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the MSDS. Clean up in accordance with all applicable regulations. DO NOT handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. Do not use in areas without adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Wear personal protective equipment. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use care in handling/storage. Avoid release to the environment. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Protect from light. Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame. Store in a closed container away from incompatible materials. Store in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulation. 8.
