Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Extinguish the fire by extinguishers of dry chemical agent, foam fire extinguish agent, and non-flammable gas.

Unsuitable media

No information.

Specific hazards

In case of fire, there is a possibility that irritative, corrosive or toxic fumes or gases are generated. There is a possibility of explosion of the product by heat.

Instructions

Cut off the power in case of connection/energizing the product into the device, if can be coped with safely. Move the product from the fire area if it is not dangerous. After extinguishing the fire, continue to cool the container thoroughly with plenty of water. Immediately move the movable product to safe place when fire occurs in surrounding. If it is not movable, cool the product with water spray. Keep away the combustible materials to prevent spread fire around.

Firefighter Protection

Extinguish fire from upwind. Wear appropriate protective clothes for chemical (self-contained breathing apparatus, protective glasses, etc.) to fire fighting.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Do not touch or walk through the leakage. Do not breathe dust, mist and vapour. Absorb by sprinkling misty water when the gas is generated.

Environmental

Be careful to not discharge the product into the rivers, sewer, and soil.

Cleanup methods

remove by absorbing with them. And then, neutralized with sodium bicarbonate or slaked lime, and wash off with plenty of water.

Materials: absorbing mat, sodium bicarbonate or slaked lime, water

Stability and Reactivity

Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials

Stability

(lead) When oxygen is present, it will be eroded by pure water and the weak organic acid. At normal temperature, it will be eroded by fluorine or chlorine. (lead dioxide/ lead sulfate) It is considered to be stable under normal handling and storage. (dilute sulfuric acid) At first, vapor is generated by heating, and generate sulfuric acid vapors if continue to heat. Rapid contact with water might be generate a large amount of heat, and sometimes the acid is scattered. Dilute sulfuric acid which is generated by diluting with water, generates hydrogen gas by the corrosion of various metals and may cause flash explosion by mixing with air. There is hygroscopic.

Reactivity

(lead) It does not occur hazardous reaction under normal condition. (lead dioxide) React violently with combustible materials and organic matter (sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid), and it may cause risk of fire. (lead sulfate) It may react with strong oxidizing agents. (dilute sulfuric acid) It may cause fire or explosion by many reactions. It is strong oxidant and reacts with combustible and reducing materials. It is strong acid and reacts violently with bases and is corrosive to most common metals forming a flammable/explosive gas(hydrogen). React with water and organic materials violently and release heat.

Hazardous reactions

(lead dioxide) React violently with combustible materials and organic matter (sulfuric acid, hydrogen peroxide, phosphoric acid), and it may cause risk of fire. (dilute sulfuric acid) It may cause fire or explosion by many reactions. It is strong acid and reacts violently with bases and is corrosive to most common metals forming a flammable/explosive gas(hydrogen). React with water and organic materials violently and release heat.

Avoid

Heating, contact with ignition sources (open flame, spark, etc.,)

Incompatible

(lead): Oxidizing agent. (lead dioxide): Flammable materials, reducing materials. (lead sulfate): Strong oxidizing agents. (dilute sulfuric acid): Combustible materials, reducing materials, strong oxidizing agents, strong bases.

Decomposition

In case, there is a possibility that irritative or toxic gases or fumes (sulfur trioxide, carbon monoxide, mist sulfate, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide) are generated. In case of fire, there is a possibility that irritative or toxic gases or fumes are generated.
