Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures
Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing agents : Carbon dioxide, water fog or spray Unsuitable extinguishing agents : - Large Fires : - Hazardous combustion products : Hydrogen chloride, Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Protection of firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical : Thermal decomposition may produce toxic fumes of the following: Hydrogen chloride and nitrogen oxides(NOx) Protective equipment for firefighters : Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Structural firefighter’s protective clothing will only provide limited protection. General fire hazards ○ Water or foam may cause frothing which can be violent and possibly endanger the life of the fire fighter. ○ Water may be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool until fire is out. ○ Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece in the positive pressure demand mode with appropriate turn-out gear and chemical resistant personal protective equipment. Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Personal precautions ○ No danger almost exists as adding agent of detergents. ○ Wash off in clean water. ○ Use approved dust mask if dust levels are irritating. Environmental precautions ○ Atmosphere : Use with adequate ventilation. ○ Land : Collect the spill for later disposal. ○ Underwater : Prevent entry into waterway and sewers. Methods for cleaning up ○ Collect as much as possible in a clean container for (preferable) reuse or disposal.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Safe Handling ○ Vapor can foam an explosive with air. Avoid breathing dusts. ○ Wash off in water after treatment. ○ Use with adequate ventilation. ○ Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. ○ Since emptied containers retain product residues, all hazard precautions given in the data sheet must be observed. Safe Storage ○ Keep container tightly closed and well-ventilated place. ○ Avoid prolonged exposure to heat and air. ○ Do not handle or store near an open flame, heat or other sources of ignition
Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls : Provide adequate ventilation.
