General information 5. Fire-fighting measures Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).Suitable extinguishing media Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.Unsuitable extinguishing media During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Upon decomposition, this product emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and/or low molecular weight hydrocarbons. Specific hazards arising from the chemical Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.Fire fighting equipment/instructions Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.Specific methods No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted.General fire hazards 6. Accidental release measures Avoid inhalation of vapors or mists. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures The product is immiscible with water and will spread on the water surface. Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or earth and place into containers. Following product recovery, flush area with water. Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination. Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid prolonged exposure. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Precautions for safe handling Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities 8. Exposure controls/personal protection No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).Biological limit values Use adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations below the exposure limits/guidelines. If user operations generate a vapor, dust and/or mist, use process enclosure, appropriate local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below the recommended exposure limits/guidelines. Appropriate engineering controls Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).Eye/face protection Skin protection The choice of an appropriate glove does not only depend on its material but also on other quality features and is different from one producer to the other. Suitable chemical protective gloves should be worn when the potential exists for skin exposure. Nitrile gloves are recommended. Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing if applicable.Other FIR No.: 184629 SDS US Issue Date: 02-22-2017 Version: 01 2 / 6 If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker health, an approved respirator must be worn. Respirator selection, use and maintenance should be in accordance with the requirements of OSHA Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 and/or Canadian Standard CSA Z94.4. Respiratory protection Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.Thermal hazards Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking.
