firefighting Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Flash back possible over considerable distance.

Hazardous combustion : Decomposition products may include the following materials: Carbon oxides
products nitrogen oxides (NOx)

Special protective equipment : Use personal protective equipment.

for firefighters

Specific extinguishing : Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in
methods accordance with local regulations. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not
breathe fumes.

Section: 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, : Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Keep people away
protective equipment and from and upwind of spill/leak. Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin
emergency procedures and eyes. When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit
they must use appropriate certified respirators. Ensure clean-up is conducted by
trained personnel only. Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8.

Environmental precautions : Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water.

Methods and materials for : Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain
containment and cleaning up spillage, and then collect with non-combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand,
earth, diatomaceous earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal
according to local / national regulations (see section 13). For large spills, dike
spilled material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a
waterway. Flush away traces with water.

Section: 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Advice on safe handling : Take necessary action to avoid static electricity discharge (which might cause
ignition of organic vapours). Do not ingest. Keep away from fire, sparks and
heated surfaces. Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray. Do not get
in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Use only
with adequate ventilation.

Conditions for safe storage : Keep away from heat and sources of ignition. Keep away from oxidizing agents.
Keep out of reach of children. Keep container tightly closed. Store in suitable
labelled containers.

Conditions to avoid : Heat, flames and sparks.

Incompatible materials : Contact with strong oxidizers (e.g. chlorine, peroxides, chromates, nitric acid,
perchlorate, concentrated oxygen, permanganate) may generate heat, fires,
explosions and/or toxic vapors.

sulfonic) may generate heat, splattering or boiling and toxic vapors.
Avoid contact with SO2 or acidic bisulfite products, which may react to form
visible airborne amine salt particles.
Certain amines in contact with nitrous acid, organic or inorganic nitrites or
atmospheres with high nitrous oxide concentrations may produce N-
nitrosamines, many of which are cancer-causing agents to laboratory animals.

provided is intended to give the user a general estimate of the environmental fate of this product under the
defined conditions of the models.
If released into the environment this material is expected to distribute to the air, water and soil/sediment in the
approximate respective percentages;

Air : <5%
Water : 30 - 50%
