Section 5: Firefighting measures

5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media : Water spray or fog. Carbon dioxide. Foam. Dry chemical. Dry powder. Sand.
Unsuitable extinguishing media : Use of heavy stream of water may spread fire.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the chemical
Fire hazard : Heat from fire can generate flammable vapor. When mixed with air and exposed to ignition
source, can burn in open air or explode if confined.
Explosion hazard : May form flammable/explosive vapor-air mixture.
Hazardous decomposition products in case of : Carbon oxides (CO, CO2). Toxic fumes. 1,3-butadiene. Hydrocarbons.
fire
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Firefighting instructions : Fight fire from safe distance and protected location. Avoid direct personal contact with liquid
even after fire is out to prevent potentially serious burns. Use water spray or fog for cooling
exposed containers. Apply aqueous extinguishing media carefully to prevent frothing/steam
explosion. Heat may build pressure, rupturing closed containers, spreading fire and increasing
risk of burns and injuries. Prevent fire-fighting water from entering environment.
Protection during firefighting : Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective equipment. Complete protective
clothing. Self-contained breathing apparatus.
Other information : Fires are typically very smoky.

Section 6: Accidental release measures

6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Emergency procedures for non-emergency : Ensure adequate ventilation. Do not attempt to take action without suitable protective
personnel equipment. For further information refer to section 8: "Exposure controls/personal protection".

6.2. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

For containment : Take up liquid spill into absorbent material, e.g.: sand, earth, vermiculite. Keep recovered
product for subsequent disposal.
Methods for cleaning up : Wash away residue with large amounts of water. Gather the product and place it in a spare
container that has been suitably labeled.
6.3. Reference to other sections
See section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection.

Section 7: Handling and storage

7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Precautions for safe handling : Ensure good ventilation of the work station. Wear personal protective equipment. Avoid contact
with elevated temperature or molten product to prevent burns. Use only non-sparking tools.
Steam drum heaters are recommended. If heating is necessary for drummed product, loosen or
remove bung or lid before warming/heating product to avoid overpressurization in the drum.
