Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
Specific hazards arising from the chemical spray from a distance for large fires. Cool unopened containers with water. Use appropriate media for adjacent fire.
Wear self-contained, approved breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, including eye protection and boots.
Emits toxic fumes (carbon oxides) under fire conditions. See also
Stability and Reactivity section.
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Use with adequate ventilation and remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations.
Vapors can accumulate in low areas.
Environmental precautions
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Prevent spillage from entering drains. Any release to the environment may be subject to federal/national or local reporting requirements.
Neutralize spill with sodium bicarbonate or lime. Absorb spill with noncombustible absorbent material, then place in a suitable container for disposal. Clean surfaces thoroughly with water to remove residual contamination. Dispose of all waste and cleanup materials in accordance with regulations.
Precautions for safe handling
See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapors/mists. Keep away from sources of ignition. Not smoking. Take measures to prevent the buildup of electrostatic charge. Keep container closed when not in use.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store in cool, dry well ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed. Keep away from incompatible materials
(see section 10 for incompatibilities).
Occupational exposure controls: Ventilation and appropriate grounding of containers.
