Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water Foam Carbon dioxide (CO2) Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Carbon oxides Nitrogen oxides (NOx) Hydrogen cyanide (hydrocyanic acid) Combustible. Vapors are heavier than air and may spread along floors. Forms explosive mixtures with air on intense heating. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire.
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a water spray jet.
Firefighter Protection
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Advice for non-emergency personnel: Avoid inhalation of dusts. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not let product enter drains.
Collect, bind, and pump off spills. Take up carefully. Clean up affected area.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture.
Tightly closed. Dry. Keep in a well-ventilated place. Keep locked up or in an area accessible only to qualified or authorized persons.
Immediately change contaminated clothing. Apply preventive skin protection. Wash hands and face after working with substance. For precautions see section 2.2.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Nitrile rubber gloves, minimum layer thickness: 0.11 mm, breakthrough time: 480 min. Material tested: KCL 741 Dermatril® L. Recommendations apply to product as stated in SDS and for designated use. For other conditions, contact supplier of CE-approved gloves (e.g., KCL GmbH). Compliance with EN374 mentioned.
Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). Tightly fitting safety goggles.
Required when dusts are generated. Recommendations on filtering respiratory protection are based on standards: DIN EN 143, DIN 14387. Recommended Filter type: Filter type P3. Maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices must be carried out according to producer's instructions and properly documented.
protective clothing
Do not let product enter drains.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Appearance, physical state, melting point, boiling point, and material characteristics
Stability and Reactivity
Chemical stability, hazardous reactions, and incompatible materials
