SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media: : Water spray. dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide (CO2). Use water
spray/stream to protect personnel and to cool endangered containers.
Unsuitable extinguishing media : Do not use water jet. Burning liquid may float on water.

may rupture violently when exposed to fire or excessive heat.
Explosion hazard : Risk of explosion if heated in a confined system. Gas/vapour explosive with air within explosion
limits.
Reactivity : Stable in use and storage conditions as recommended in item 7.

5.3. Advice for firefighters
Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) operated in positive pressure mode and complete protective clothing.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

6.1.1. For non-emergency personnel
Protective equipment : Use personal protective equipment as described on section 8.
Emergency procedures : Isolate the leak from sources of ignition. Prevent sparks or flames.
6.1.2. For emergency responders
Protective equipment : Use personal protective equipment as described on section 8.

6.2. Environmental precautions
Avoid spillage reaches watercourses and sewerage systems. It is recommended the installation of fire alarm system and leak detection in storage
and handling sites.

6.3. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for cleaning up : Use natural barriers or containment of spillage. Collect spilled product and place in appropriate
containers. Prevent spreading over great surfaces (e.g. by damming or installing oil booms).
Absorb with liquid-binding material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid- or universal binding
agents). Dispose of this material and its container to hazardous or special waste collection point.
Other information Do not discharge directly into the environment or into the sewer system. The dilution water from
fire fighting can cause pollution.

required.

7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures: : Provide adequate ventilation. Use explosion-proof ventilating equipment.
Storage condition(s) : Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of
ignition. Keep container tightly closed. The floor of the storage room must be impermeable, non-
oxidizing and with contention dikes to retain the product in case of leakage. Store in adequate
storage tanks placed in containment basin to retain product in case of leakage.
Storage area : Floors should be impenetrable, resistant to liquids and easy to clean. The floor of the depot
should be impermeable and designed to form a tight basin. Engineering specifications should
meet local regulations.
