FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Specific hazards arising from the chemical Product is not flammable. Use appropriate media for adjacent fire. Wear self-contained, approved breathing apparatus and full protective clothing, including eye protection and boots. Material can react violently with water (spattering and misting). Emits toxic fumes (carbon oxides, sulfur oxides, phosphates) under fire conditions. See also Stability and Reactivity section. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Environmental precautions Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Prevent spillage from entering drains. Any release to the environment may be subject to a 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. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling See section 8 for recommendations on the use of personal protective equipment. Use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after using. Keep container closed when not in use. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Store in cool, dry well ventilated area in tightly-closed, plainly-labeled containers. Keep away from incompatible materials (see section 10 for incompatibilities).. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION Occupational exposure controls: Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values. Personal Protection Wear chemical safety glasses with face shield for splash protection. Inhalation Provide local exhaust, preferably mechanical. If exposure levels are excessive, use an approved respirator. Wear neoprene or rubber gloves, apron and other protective clothing appropriate to the risk of exposure. Other Other Recommendations Provide eyewash stations, quick-drench showers and washing facilities accessible to areas of use and handling. Have supplies and equipment for neutralization and running water available. Revised on 02/06/2015 Page 3 of 6
