Extinguishing media - Suitable extinguishing media : All known extinguishants can be used. - Unsuitable extinguishing media : None. - Specific methods : If possible, stop flow of product. Move away from the container and cool with water from a protected position. - Special protective equipment for fire : In confined space use self-contained breathing apparatus. fighters 6 Accidental release measures Environmental precautions : Try to stop release. Prevent from entering sewers, basements and workpits, or any place where its accumulation can be dangerous. 7 Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling : Open valve slowly to avoid pressure shock. Suck back of water into the container must be prevented. Do not allow backfeed into the container. Use only properly specified equipment which is suitable for this product, its supply pressure and temperature. Contact your gas supplier if in doubt. Conditions for safe storage, including : Keep container below 50 C in a well ventilated place. any incompatibilities Specific end use(s) 8 Exposure controls/personal protection - Respiratory protection : No special respiratory protection equipment is recommended under normal conditions of use with adequate ventilation. - Hand protection : Wear suitable gloves. - Skin protection : Skin protection appropriate to the conditions of use should be provided. - Eye protection : Even though no eye contact is expected under reasonable normal conditions of use, appropriate eye protection should be worn when handling this material. - Occupational Exposure Limits : Hydrogen sulphide : TLV -STEL [ppm] : 15 Hydrogen sulphide : TLV -TWA [ppm] : 5 Recommended monitoring : Ensure adequate ventilation. procedures Exposure controls 9 Physical and chemical properties Physical state at 20 C : Compressed gas.
