Unsuitable media

Water (quick-acting extinguisher, reel); risk of puddle expansion. Quick-acting class B foam extinguisher. Water.

Specific hazards

DIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Non combustible. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD: Reactions involving a fire hazard: see "Reactivity Hazard". INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD: Reactions with explosion hazards: see "Reactivity Hazard".

Instructions

Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety. When cooling/extinguishing: no water in the substance. Dilute toxic gases with water spray.

Firefighter Protection

Heat/fire exposure: self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137).

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Mark the danger area. No naked flames. Keep containers closed. Avoid ingress of water in the containers. Wash contaminated clothes. Large spills/in confined spaces: consider evacuation. In case of hazardous reactions: keep upwind. In case of reactivity hazard: consider evacuation. On contact with moisture/water: keep upwind. On contact with moisture/water: consider evacuation.

Large spill

Consider evacuation. Use self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 136 + EN 137) and gas-tight suit (EN 943).

Environmental

Prevent soil and water pollution. Prevent spreading in sewers.

Cleanup methods

Neutralize spill with lime, sodium bicarbonate, soda (sodium carbonate) or soda ash. Neutralized substance: shovel into closing drums. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water. Take collected spill to manufacturer/competent authority. Wash clothing and equipment after handling.

Materials: Lime, sodium bicarbonate, soda (sodium carbonate) or soda ash.
