5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
Use dry chemical, CO2, water spray or "alcohol" foam.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Specific hazards
Flammable. The vapour is invisible, heavier than air and spreads along the ground. Can form explosive mixture with air
particularly in empty uncleaned containers. Heating may cause pressure rise with risk of bursting and subsequent explosion.
Flash back possible over considerable distance.
Special protective equipment for fire-fighters
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Specific methods
In the event of fire, cool containers/tanks with water spray.

Respiratory protection
When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. The use of
a suitable mask with particle filter P3 (BS EN 143) and a respirator with an organic vapour filter A2 (BS EN 143) is
recommended.
Hand protection
Solvent-resistant gloves. For prolonged use the gloves should meet the requirements of EN374 preferably with a Class 6
performance level which indicates a breakthrough time of >480 minutes e.g butyl rubber gloves - 0.7mm coating thickness.
For short-term contact the gloves should meet the requirements of EN374 preferably with at least Class 2 performance level
which indicates a breakthrough time of >30 minutes e.g nitrile rubber - 0.4 mm coating thickness. Gloves should be replaced
immediately if signs of degradation are observed.
Eye protection
Safety glasses. If extra protection is required wear a face-shield over the safety glasses or splash goggles. Face-shields are
only effective if worn in addition to safety glasses or splash goggles. Eye wash bottle with pure water.
Skin and body protection
Lightweight protective clothing. Safety showers should be readily available.
Hygiene measures
It is good practice in industrial hygiene to avoid contact with organic solvents by using appropriate protective measures
whenever possible.

Viscous red liquid.
Amine-like.
