Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
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
Avoid substance contact. Do not breathe vapours, aerosols. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®).
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Work under hood. Do not inhale substance/mixture. Avoid generation of vapours/aerosols. Observe label precautions.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Store at +15°C to +25°C.
Change contaminated clothing. Preventive skin protection recommended. Wash hands after working with substance.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of ignition. Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of personal protective equipment.
full contact: Glove material: Nitrile rubber, Glove thickness: 0,40 mm, Break through time: > 480 min; splash contact: Glove material: polychloroprene, Glove thickness: 0,65 mm, Break through time: > 30 min. The protective gloves to be used must comply with the specifications of EC Directive 89/686/EEC and the related standard EN374, for example KCL 730 Camatril® -Velours (full contact), KCL 720 Camapren® (splash contact).
Safety glasses
required when vapours/aerosols are generated. Recommended Filter type: Filter A (acc. to DIN 3181) for vapours of organic compounds. The entrepreneur has to ensure that maintenance, cleaning and testing of respiratory protective devices are carried out according to the instructions of the producer.
Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing
Do not empty into drains. Risk of explosion.
