05

Firefighting Measures

Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection

Suitable media

Use dry chemical, foam or CO2 extinguishing media.

Specific hazards

During a fire, irritating and possibly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.

Firefighter Protection

Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Evacuate nonessential personnel from the area to prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes or products of combustion.

06

Accidental Release Measures

Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection

Emergency procedures

Control the spill at its source. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in Protective Equipment Section. Sweep up material and place in a compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place into compatible disposal container. Once all material is cleaned up and placed in a disposal container, seal container and arrange for disposition.

Environmental

Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems or any body of water.

Cleanup methods

Sweep up material and place in a compatible disposal container. Scrub area with hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span). Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place into compatible disposal container.

Materials: Hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such as Tide, Joy, Spic and Span), additional absorbent.

Handling and Storage

Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements

Handling

This material is capable of forming flammable dust clouds in air, which, if ignited, can produce a dust cloud explosion. Flames, hot surfaces, mechanical sparks and electrostatic discharges can serve as ignition sources for this material. Electrical equipment should be compatible with the flammability characteristics of this material. The flammability characteristics will be made worse if the material contains traces of flammable solvents or is handled in the presence of flammable solvents.

Storage

Store the material in a well-ventilated, secure area out of reach of children and domestic animals. Store locked up.

Hygiene

Do not store food, beverages or tobacco products in the storage area. Prevent eating, drinking, tobacco use, and cosmetic application in areas where there is a potential for exposure to the material. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.

Fire prevention

Flames, hot surfaces, mechanical sparks and electrostatic discharges can serve as ignition sources for this material.
