Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Carbon dioxide (CO2) Foam Dry powder
For this substance/mixture no limitations of extinguishing agents are given.
Carbon oxides. Combustible. Development of hazardous combustion gases or vapours possible in the event of fire. Forms explosive mixtures with air at ambient temperatures.
Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion. Remove container from danger zone and cool with water.
Firefighter Protection
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Do not breathe vapors, aerosols. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
Do not let product enter drains. Risk of explosion.
Take up with liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®). Dispose of properly. Clean up affected area.
Materials: liquid-absorbent material (e.g. Chemizorb®)
