Fire-fighting equipment/instructions

In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For massive fire in cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire burn out.

Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out.

May include and are not limited to: Oxides of carbon.

Specific methods

Hazardous combustion products

6. Accidental Release Measures

Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep out of low areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. Avoid breathing gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.

Extinguish all flames in the vicinity. Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Dike far ahead of spill for later disposal. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas.

Following product recovery, flush area with water. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not contaminate water. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.

Appropriate engineering controls

Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Skin protection

Hand protection
