Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Water spray. Alcohol-resistant foam. BC powder. Carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable media

Solid water jet ineffective as extinguishing medium.

Specific hazards

DIRECT FIRE HAZARD. Highly flammable. Gas/vapour flammable with air within explosion limits. INDIRECT FIRE HAZARD. May be ignited by sparks. Gas/vapour spreads at floor level: ignition hazard. DIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD. Gas/vapour explosive with air within explosion limits. INDIRECT EXPLOSION HAZARD. may be ignited by sparks.

Instructions

Cool tanks/drums with water spray/remove them into safety. Do not move the load if exposed to heat.

Firefighter Protection

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Keep upwind. Mark the danger area. Consider evacuation. Seal off low-lying areas. Close doors and windows of adjacent premises. Stop engines and no smoking. No naked flames or sparks. Spark- and explosionproof appliances and lighting equipment. Keep containers closed. Wash contaminated clothes.

Large spill

Large spills/in enclosed spaces: compressed air apparatus.

Environmental

Prevent spreading in sewers.

Cleanup methods

Take up liquid spill into a non combustible material e.g.: sand, earth, vermiculite or kieselguhr, powdered limestone. Scoop absorbed substance into closing containers. Carefully collect the spill/leftovers. Damaged/cooled tanks must be emptied. Clean contaminated surfaces with an excess of water.

Materials: sand, earth, vermiculite or kieselguhr, powdered limestone
