Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.

Unsuitable media

For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.

Specific hazards

Nitrogen oxides (NOx). Not combustible. Has a fire-promoting effect due to release of oxygen. Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.

Instructions

Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a water spray jet.

Firefighter Protection

In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
