the chemical
Special protective equipment Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
and precautions for firefighters
Fire fighting Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
equipment/instructions
Specific methods Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
General fire hazards Flammable liquid and vapor.
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.
Environmental precautions Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
Skin protection
Hand protection Not normally needed. For prolonged or repeated skin contact use suitable protective gloves.
Other Not normally needed. Wear suitable protective clothing as protection against splashing or
contamination.
Respiratory protection No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required. When workers are facing
concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
considerations and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants. For advice on suitable monitoring methods, seek guidance
from a qualified environment, health and safety professional.
