05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Alcohol resistant foam. Carbon dioxide. Dry powder. Water spray. Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire.

Specific hazards

Thermal decomposition generates: Carbon oxides. Nitrogen oxides. Risk of explosion if heated under confinement. May form flammable/explosive vapor-air mixture.

Instructions

In case of fire: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.

Firefighter Protection

Wear gas tight chemically protective clothing in combination with self contained breathing apparatus.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Do not breathe gas, fumes, vapor or spray. Gas/vapor heavier than air. May accumulate in confined spaces, particularly at or below ground level. Consider the risk of potentially explosive atmospheres.

Small spill

Take up small spills with dry chemical absorbent. Sweep or shovel spills into appropriate container for disposal.

Large spill

Take up large spills with pump or vacuum and finish with dry chemical absorbent. Use explosion-proof equipment.

Environmental

Avoid release to the environment.

Cleanup methods

Take up large spills with pump or vacuum and finish with dry chemical absorbent. Use explosion-proof equipment. Take up small spills with dry chemical absorbent. Sweep or shovel spills into appropriate container for disposal. Ventilate area.

Materials: dry chemical absorbent
