5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide (CO2), Foam, extinguishing powder, in cases of
larger fires, water spray should be used.
Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:
Burning releases carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, isocyanate vapors and
traces of hydrogen cyanide. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
Fire in vicinity poses risk of pressure build-up and rupture. Containers at risk from fire should be
cooled with water and, if possible, removed from the danger area.
Advice for fire-fighters:
During fire-fighting respirator with independent air-supply and airtight garment is required.

Based on the applied RMMs the risk towards humans and the environment is sufficiently
controlled (RCR 1).
9. Guidance to downstream user
Predicted exposures are not expected to exceed the DN(M)EL when the Risk Management
Measures/Operational Conditions outlined in Section 6 are implemented.
Where other Risk Management Measures/Operational Conditions are adopted, then users should
ensure that risks are managed to at least equivalent levels.
