Suitable extinguishing media
: Water spray jet
Alcohol-resistant foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Dry chemical
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
: High volume water jet
Specific hazards during fire
fighting
: Risk of explosion if heated under confinement.
Possible emission of gaseous decomposition products may
lead to a dangerous pressure build-up.
Avoid confinement.
Contact with incompatible materials or exposure to
temperatures exceeding SADT may result in a self-
accelerating decomposition reaction with release of flammable
vapors which may auto-ignite.
The product burns violently.
Flash back possible over considerable distance.
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
courses.
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.
Cool closed containers exposed to fire with water spray.
Specific extinguishing meth-
ods
: Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread
fire.
Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to do
so.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Further information : Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Use a water spray to cool fully closed containers.
Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This
must not be discharged into drains.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must
be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Special protective equipment
for fire-fighters
: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if
necessary.
Use personal protective equipment.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protec-
tive equipment and emer-
gency procedures
: Follow safe handling advice and personal protective
equipment recommendations.
Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive
concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas.
Use personal protective equipment.
Remove all sources of ignition.
Never return spills in original containers for re-use.

Treat recovered material as described in the section "Disposal
considerations".
Environmental precautions
: Prevent product from entering drains.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
If the product contaminates rivers and lakes or drains inform
respective authorities.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
: Contact with incompatible substances can cause
decomposition at or below SADT.
Clear spills immediately.
Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a water spray
jet.
To clean the floor and all objects contaminated by this
material, use plenty of water.
Soak up with inert absorbent material.
Isolate waste and do not reuse.
Non-sparking tools should be used.
Local or national regulations may apply to releases and
disposal of this material, as well as those materials and items
employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need to
determine which regulations are applicable.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Technical measures
: See Engineering measures under EXPOSURE
CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION section.
Advice on protection against
fire and explosion

(which might cause ignition of organic vapors).
Keep away from heat and sources of ignition.
Use only explosion-proof equipment.
Keep away from open flames, hot surfaces and sources of
ignition.
Keep away from combustible material.
Do not spray on a naked flame or any incandescent material.
Advice on safe handling
: Open drum carefully as content may be under pressure.
Protect from contamination.
Do not swallow.
Do not breathe vapors/dust.
Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use.
Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
