Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.

Unsuitable media

Water (It may scatter and spread fire.)

Specific hazards

Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide

Instructions

Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing method according to the surrounding situation is used. In case of fire in the surroundings: Keep containers cool by spraying with water. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.

Firefighter Protection

When extinguishing fire, be sure to wear personal protective equipment

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Ensure adequate ventilation. Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled around the leakage area by roping off, etc

Large spill

In case of large amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding.

Environmental

Prevent product from entering drains

Cleanup methods

Absorb spilled material in dry sand or inert absorbent before recovering it into an airtight container.

Materials: dry sand or inert absorbent

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

Handling is performed in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective equipment. Prevent generation of vapour or mist. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surfaces. -No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge. Use explosion-proof equipment. Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling. Use a closed system if possible. Use a ventilation, local exhaust if vapour or aerosol will be generated. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.

Storage

Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dark and well-ventilated place. Store locked up.

Hygiene

Wash hands and face thoroughly after handling.

Fire prevention

Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surfaces. -No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge.

08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Install a closed system or local exhaust.

Hands

Impervious gloves.

Eyes

Safety goggles. A face-shield, if the situation requires.

Respiratory

Half or full facepiece respirator, self-contained breathing apparatus(SCBA), supplied air respirator, etc. Use respirators approved under appropriate government standards and follow local and national regulations.

Skin/Body

Impervious protective clothing. Protective boots, if the situation requires.
