Specific hazards arising Take care as it may decompose upon combustion or in high temperatures to
from the chemical: generate poisonous fume.
Precautions for firefighters: Fire-extinguishing work is done from the windward and the suitable fire-extinguishing
method according to the surrounding situation is used. Uninvolved persons should
evacuate to a safe place. In case of fire in the surroundings: Remove movable
containers if safe to do so.

protective equipment and Ensure adequate ventilation. Entry to non-involved personnel should be controlled
emergency procedures: around the leakage area by roping off, etc.
Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains.
Methods and materials for Absorb spilled material in a suitable absorbent (e.g. rag, dry sand, earth, saw-dust).
containment and cleaning In case of large amount of spillage, contain a spill by bunding. Adhered or collected
up: material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and
regulations.
Prevention of secondary Remove all sources of ignition. Fire-extinguishing devices should be prepared in
case of a fire. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment.
