5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards during firefighting Special protective equipment for firefighters : Carbon dioxide (CO2) Dry powder Water spray jet Alcohol-resistant foam : High volume water jet : Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire. Exposure to decomposition products may be a hazard to health. : In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Use personal protective equipment. : Standard procedure for chemical fires. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. If the temperature rises there is danger of the vessels bursting due to the high vapor pressure. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions Environmental precautions Methods for cleaning up : Use personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Immediately evacuate personnel to safe areas. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas. : Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform respective authorities. : Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible absorbent 3 / 14
material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to local / national regulations. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly. Do not flush with water. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Advice on safe handling Advice on protection against fire and explosion Dust explosion class : Limit the stocks at work place. Use only in well-ventilated areas. Do not breathe vapours or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material. Prevent the creation of flammable or explosive concentrations of vapour in air and avoid vapour concentration higher than the occupational exposure limits. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. : Normal measures for preventive fire protection. Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Do not smoke. No sparking tools should be used. Electrical equipment should be protected to the appropriate standard. : not applicable Storage Requirements for storage areas and containers on storage conditions : Store in original container. BEWARE: Aerosol is pressurized. Keep away from direct sun exposure and temperatures over 50 C. Do not open by force or throw into fire even after use. Do not spray on flames or red-hot objects. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and wellventilated place. Please observe the storage instructions for aerosols! : AS/NZS 3833 The storage and handling of mixed classes of Dangerous Goods in packages and intermediate bulk containers. 4 / 14
Advice on common storage Materials to avoid Other data : Keep away from oxidising agents and strongly acid or alkaline materials. Do not store together with oxidizing and self-igniting products.
