Section 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.
media:
Unsuitable extinguishing Water (It may scatter and spread fire.)
media:
Specific hazards arising Explosion risk in case of fire. Fight fire remotely due to the risk of explosion.
Take care as it may decompose upon combustion or in high temperatures to
from the chemical:
generate poisonous fume.
Precautions for firefighters: Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing
method according to the surrounding situation is used. Uninvolved persons should
evacuate to a safe place. In case of fire in the surroundings: Keep containers cool by
spraying with water. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so.
When extinguishing fire, be sure to wear personal protective equipment.
Special protective
equipment for firefighters:
Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, Use personal protective equipment. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
protective equipment and Ensure adequate ventilation. Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled
emergency procedures: around the leakage area by roping off, etc.
Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains.
Methods and materials for Absorb spilled material in dry sand or inert absorbent before recovering it into an
containment and cleaning airtight container. In case of large amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding.
up: Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with
appropriate laws and regulations.
Prevention of secondary Remove all sources of ignition. Fire-extinguishing devices should be prepared in
case of a fire. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.

Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Technical measures: Handling is performed in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective equipment.
Be careful not to cause leakage, overflow, or dispersion. Steam should not be
generated unnecessarily. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flame/hot surfaces. -No
smoking. Take measures to prevent the build up of electrostatic charge. Use
explosion-proof equipment. Avoid shock and friction. Wash hands and face before
breaks and immediately after handling the product.
Use a closed system if possible. Use a ventilation, local exhaust if vapour or aerosol
will be generated.
Advice on safe handling: Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
May develop pressure. Open carefully.
Conditions for safe storage, including any
incompatibilities
Storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed. Store in an explosion-poof refregerator.
Store under inert gas.
Be sure not to give the container unexpected impacts, such as falling down or falling
off.
Store away from incompatible materials such as oxidizing agents.
Heat-sensitive, Light-sensitive, Air-sensitive
Comply with laws.
