Unsuitable extinguishing : Foam
media Dry chemical
Specific hazards during fire : Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
fighting Oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause fire.
On decomposition, releases oxygen which may intensify fire.
Oxidizer; material is an oxidizer which may readily react with other
materials, especially upon heating.
In case of a fire, if it is possible without risk, remove all containers
exposed to the fire and store them in a safe place, away from any
source of heat.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
Hazardous combustion : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
products Carbon oxides
Sulfur oxides
Special protective equipment : In case of fire, wear a full face positive-pressure self contained
for fire-fighters breathing apparatus and protective suit.
Specific extinguishing : Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be
methods disposed of in accordance with local regulations. In the event of fire
and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Product AS SOLD
Personal precautions, : Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep people away from and upwind of
protective equipment and spill/leak. Avoid inhalation, ingestion and contact with skin and eyes.
emergency procedures When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they
must use appropriate certified respirators. Ensure clean-up is
conducted by trained personnel only. Move all flammable sources out
of danger and keep them away from the scene. Refer to protective
measures listed in sections 7 and 8.
Environmental precautions : Do not allow contact with soil, surface or ground water. DO NOT
hermetically seal any defective containers, including drums (risk of
bursting due to the decomposition of the product)
Methods and materials for : Stop leak if safe to do so. Isolate the waste do not allow it to come into
containment and cleaning up contact with incompatible materials. For small spills contain with sand
or vermiculite and dilute the contained product at least 10 times with
water. Transfer to an open topped container and remove to a safe
place for neutralization* / disposal. For large spills contain spill and
evacuate the area, leave until the reaction subsides, then collect up
for disposal. Obtain consent from the local water company / authority if
considering discharge to sewer. *NEUTRALIZATION : once diluted,
neutralize with a suitable alkali such as sodium bicarbonate.
Combustible materials exposed to this product should be rinsed
immediately with large amounts of water to ensure that all product is
removed. Residual product which is allowed to dry on organic
materials such as rags, cloths, paper, fabrics, cotton, leather, wood,
or other combustibles may spontaneously ignite and result in a fire.

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 : Stop leak if safe to do so. Contain spillage, and then collect with non-
containment and cleaning up combustible absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous
earth, vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to
local / national regulations (see section 13). Flush away traces with
water. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain
material to ensure runoff does not reach a waterway.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Product AS SOLD
Advice on safe handling : Do not ingest. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not
breathe dust/ fume/ gas/ mist/ vapors/ spray. Use only with adequate
ventilation. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Do not mix with
bleach or other chlorinated products – will cause chlorine gas. In case
of mechanical malfunction, or if in contact with unknown dilution of
product, wear full Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Conditions for safe storage : Keep in a cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from reducing
agents. Keep away from strong bases. Keep away from combustible
material. Keep out of reach of children. Keep container tightly closed.
Store in suitable labeled containers. Pressure bursts may occur due to
gas evolution if the container is not adequately vented. Do not
hermetically seal the container. Always transport and store the
containers upright. Risk of overpressure and bursting in the event of
decomposition in closed containers and in pipes.
Storage temperature : 5 °C to 35 °C
