 Section 6 : Fire Fighting Measures
Hazards from Combustion Products :
Non-combustible material.

Precautions for Fire Fighters and Special Protective Equipment :

Decomposes on heating emiting toxic fumes, including those of hydrogen chloride. Fire fighters to
wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to
products of decomposition.

Suitable Extingushing Media :

Not combustible, however, if material is involved in a fire use: Extinguishing media appropriate to
surrounding fire conditions.

Section 7 : Accidental Release Measures

Emergency Procedures:
Clear area of all unprotected personnel. If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred
advise local emergency services.

Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up:

Slippery when spill. Avoid accidents, clean up immediately. Wear protective equipment to prevent
skin and eye contact. Contain – prevent run off into drains and waterways. Use absorbent (soil, sand,
other inert material). Collect and seal in properly labeled containers or drum for disposal.

Section 8 : Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling :
Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing in vapor, mists and aerosols.

Conditions for safe storage :

Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated place and out of direct sunlight. Store away from incompatible
materials described in Section 10. Keep containers closed when not in use - check regularly for leaks.

 Section 9 : Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use
ventilation to keep exposure to airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.

Personal Protection:
Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or
equivalent. Gloves.

Personal Protection in Case of a Large Spill:

Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should
be used to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient;
consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product.

Exposure Limits:
TWA: 1 CEIL: 2 Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits
