5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards Containers can burst violently or explode when heated, due to excessive pressure build-up.
Flammable liquid and vapour. Vapours may be ignited by a spark, a hot surface or an ember.
Vapours may form explosive mixtures with air. Fire-water run-off in sewers may create fire or
explosion hazard. Contains Hydrocarbons. The product is immiscible with water and will
spread on the water surface.
Hazardous combustion Hydrocarbons. Carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon dioxide (CO2).
products
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Protective actions during Avoid breathing fire gases or vapours. Evacuate area. Cool containers exposed to heat with
firefighting water spray and remove them from the fire area if it can be done without risk. Cool containers
exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use
water spray to disperse vapours and protect men stopping the leak. Avoid discharge to the
aquatic environment. Control run-off water by containing and keeping it out of sewers and
watercourses. If risk of water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities.
Special protective equipment Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and appropriate protective
for firefighters clothing. Firefighter's clothing conforming to European standard EN469 (including helmets,
protective boots and gloves) will provide a basic level of protection for chemical incidents.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions Evacuate area. No smoking, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition near spillage. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data
sheet. Promptly remove any clothing that becomes contaminated.
6.2. Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains or watercourses or onto the ground.

explosion. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet. Absorb
spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material. Collect and place in suitable waste
disposal containers and seal securely. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water. Do not
empty into drains. For waste disposal, see Section 13. Wash thoroughly after dealing with a
spillage.
