Water, water spray, foam, dry chemicals, carbon dioxide.

No information available

The product, when involved in a fire, burns with a sooty flame and release fumes made up of water, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide (when starved of oxygen) and other combustion products. The gases / vapors are heavier than air and may flow at ground level.

Cool endangered receptacles with spray water.

Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Do not allow product to reach sewage system or any water course. Stop leak if safe to do so.

Send for recovery or disposal in suitable receptacles.

The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals. Ensure good interior ventilation, especially at floor level. (Fumes are heavier than air). Prevent formation of aerosols. Do not inhale gases / fumes / aerosols.

Keep the product in ventilated and fresh storage areas. Do not store in the open under direct sunlight. Store in dry conditions. Keep container tightly sealed.

Comply with personal hygiene measures and use the personal protective equipment (see chapter 8). Do not smoke, eat or drink in the workplace. Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed. Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Avoid naked flames. Remove ignition sources. Avoid sparks. Do not smoke. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Earth all equipment.

Work rooms must be provided with adequate ventilation and exhaust equipment to collect dust and gas/vapours that may be evolved during the conversion. Ensure that washing facilities are available at the work place.

Protective gloves. The following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: - Butyl rubber (Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.35 mm; Permeation time: > 480 min) - Fluorocarbon rubber (Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.30 mm; Permeation time: > 480 min). The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed. The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Not suitable are gloves made of the following materials: - Natural rubber, NR - Nitrile rubber, NBR - PVC gloves - PVA gloves

In case of possible or foreseeable exposure to vapours or aerosol (and anyway in case of simultaneous use of respiratory protective equipment), it is preferable to wear a EN 136 certified full face mask for a better eye/face protection.

Wear a EN 136 certified full face mask equipped with a EN 14387 certified gas filter of type A (Colour code: brown) In case filter respirators are not suitable (e.g.: high concentration of particles or aerosol, oxygen concentrations below 17% volume, unknown concentrations of vapours and/or gases or concentrations above the usage limits for filter devices as specified by the manufacturer, presence of other vapours and gases in the air, etc.) use EN 14594 certified continuous flow compressed air line breathing apparatus or EN 14593-1 certified compressed air line breathing apparatus with demand valve or EN 145 certified self-contained closed-circuit breathing apparatus or EN 137 certified self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus.

If release of liquid chemicals is possible or foreseeable, wear a EN 14605 certified protective suit against liquid chemicals with liquid-tight connections. Chemical-resistant boots (conforming EN 20345 & 13832).
