Section 5. Fire-fighting measures


Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing : Use caution when applying carbon dioxide in confined spaces.
media SMALL FIRE: Steam, CO2, dry chemical or inert gas (e.g., nitrogen). LARGE FIRE:
Use foam, water fog or water spray. Water fog and spray are effective in cooling
containers and adjacent structures. However, water can cause frothing and/or may not
extinguish the fire. Water can be used to cool the external walls of vessels to prevent
excessive pressure, ignition or explosion.
Unsuitable extinguishing : Do not use water jet.
media

Specific hazards arising : Flammable liquid and vapor. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. This
from the chemical product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become electrostatically charged. If
sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. To reduce
potential for static discharge, use proper bonding and grounding procedures. This liquid
may accumulate static electricity when filling properly grounded containers. Static
accumulation may be significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water
or other contaminants. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the
container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier
than air and will spread along the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined
areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. This
material is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects. Fire water contaminated with
this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway,
sewer or drain.
Hazardous thermal : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
decomposition products carbon dioxide
carbon monoxide
Diesel engine exhaust

Special protective actions : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
for fire-fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. Move containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water
spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing
equipment for fire-fighters apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure mode.

Section 6. Accidental release measures


Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency : No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
personnel Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Shut off all ignition sources.
No flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put
on appropriate personal protective equipment.
For emergency responders : If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in
Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For non-
emergency personnel".

Section 6. Accidental release measures


Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). Water polluting material. May be harmful to
the environment if released in large quantities. Collect spillage.

Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up


Small spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively,
or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste
disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large spill : Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Use spark-proof tools and
explosion-proof equipment. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers,
water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment
plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible,
absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in
container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a
licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the
same hazard as the spilled product. Note: see Section 1 for emergency contact
information and Section 13 for waste disposal.

Section 7. Handling and storage


Precautions for safe handling
Protective measures : Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Avoid exposure -
obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have
been read and understood. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe
vapor or mist. Do not swallow. Avoid release to the environment. Use only with
adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Do
not enter storage areas and confined spaces unless adequately ventilated. Keep in the
original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept
tightly closed when not in use. Store and use away from heat, sparks, open flame or
any other ignition source. Use explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and
material handling) equipment. Use only non-sparking tools. Take precautionary
measures against electrostatic discharges. Empty containers retain product residue
and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container. Handling operations that can promote
accumulation of static charges include but are not limited to: mixing, filtering, pumping at
high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tank and container filling, tank
cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations. Restrict flow
velocity according to API 2003 (2008), NFPA 77 (2007), and Laurence Britton, “Avoiding
Static Ignition Hazards in Chemical Operations”. To reduce potential for static
discharge, ensure that all equipment is properly grounded and bonded and meets
appropriate electrical classification requirements. Non equilibrium conditions may
increase the fire hazard associated with this product. Always bond receiving containers
to the fill pipe before and during loading. Always confirm that receiving container is
properly grounded. Bonding and grounding alone may be inadequate to eliminate fire
and explosion hazards. Carefully review operations that may increase the risks such as
tank and container filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, loading, filtering, mixing,
agitation, etc. In addition to bonding and grounding, efforts to mitigate the hazards may
include, but are not limited to, ventilation, inerting and/or reduction of transfer velocities.
Always keep nozzle in contact with the container throughout the loading process. Do
NOT fill any portable container in or on a vehicle.
Special precautions, such as reduced loading rates and increased monitoring, must be
observed during "switch loading" operations (i.e., loading this material in tanks or
shipping compartments that previously contained a dissimilar product).
Advice on general : Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is
occupational hygiene handled, stored and processed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating,
drinking and smoking. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before
entering eating areas. See also Section 8 for additional information on hygiene
measures.

Appropriate engineering : Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or
controls other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any
recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,
vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, vapor controls, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will
be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Individual protection measures


Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Safety glasses equipped with side shields are recommended as minimum protection in
industrial settings. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless
the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles.
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,
gases or dusts. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be required
instead.
Skin protection
Hand protection : Avoid skin contact with liquid. Chemical-resistant gloves complying with an approved
standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary. Recommended: Heavy duty, industrial grade
chemically resistant gloves constructed of nitrile, neoprene, polyethylene,
fluoroelastomer rubber or polyvinyl chloride as approved by glove manufacturer.
Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that
the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time
to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove
manufacturers. Leather gloves are not protective for liquid contact.
Body protection : Avoid skin contact with liquid. Personal protective equipment for the body should be
selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be
approved by a specialist before handling this product.
Other skin protection : Avoid skin contact with liquid. Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection
measures should be selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved
and should be approved by a specialist before handling this product. Leather boots are
not protective for liquid contact.
