Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health. Material will oxidize (burn) at high temperatures. Under standard conditions of temperature and pressure, molybdenum disulfide is a slight hazard when exposed to heat or flame.

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Use water spray to cool unopened containers. Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do so. Evacuate area.

Follow safe handling advice and personal protective equipment recommendations.

Discharge into the environment must be avoided. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.

Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.

Avoid formation of dust cloud, airborne dust, inhalation and ingestion. Do not breathe dust. Keep container closed when not in use. Take care to prevent spills, waste and minimize release to the environment. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
