In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical, or CO2. Fire-fighting media and
instructions
Dyke liquid for later disposal.
Combustible liquid and vapour. Vapours may accumulate in low or confined
areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Special protective equipment for
fire-fighters
Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.

Risk of explosion of the product in the presence of mechanical impact: Not available.
Risk of explosion of the product in the presence of static discharge: Not available.
Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all ignition sources. Keep unnecessary
personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment. Do not touch or walk through spilt material.
If emergency personnel are unavailable, contain spilt material. For small spills, add absorbent
(soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-sparking or
explosion-proof means to transfer material to a sealable, appropriate container for disposal. For
large spills, dyke spilt material or otherwise contain material to ensure runoff does not reach a
waterway. Place spilt material in an appropriate container for disposal.
Environmental
precautions
Section 6. Accidental release measures
: Avoid dispersal of spilt material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers.
Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers,
waterways, soil or air).
Personal
Precautions

Methods for
cleaning up
:
Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a segregated and approved area. Keep container in
a cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Avoid
all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. To avoid fire, eliminate ignition sources.
