Fire-fighting measures Suitable extinguishing media Unsuitable extinguishing media Specific hazards arising from the chemical Special protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Fire fighting equipment/instructions Specific methods General fire hazards Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation. Treat symptomatically. Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions to protect themselves. Use extinguishing agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. 6. Accidental release measures Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Environmental precautions 7. Handling and storage Precautions for safe handling Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. This product is miscible in water. 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. Flush contaminated area with plenty of water. Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Occupational exposure limits Biological limit values Appropriate engineering controls Store in original tightly closed container. Store away from incompatible materials (see Section 10 of the SDS). Keep containers tightly closed. This mixture has no ingredients that have PEL, TLV, or other recommended exposure limit. biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). 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 Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Skin protection Hand protection Other Respiratory protection Thermal hazards Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Wear suitable protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. Revision date: August-09-2017 Issue date: March-27-2015 2 / 6
