Specific hazards during firefighting
Hazardous combustion products:

Water spray
Alcohol-resistant foam
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Dry chemical
None known.

:

Exposure to combustion products may be a hazard to health.

:

Carbon oxides

Specific extinguishing methods:

Special protective equipment
for fire-fighters:

Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Remove undamaged containers from fire area if it is safe to doso.
Evacuate area.
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Use personal protective equipment.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protec- :tive equipment and emergency procedures

Use personal protective equipment.
Follow safe handling advice (see section 7) and personal
protective equipment recommendations (see section 8).

Environmental precautions:

Avoid release to the environment.
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
Prevent spreading over a wide area (e.g., by containment or
oil barriers).
Retain and dispose of contaminated wash water.
Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained.

Methods and materials forcontainment and cleaning up:

Soak up with inert absorbent material.
For large spills, provide diking or other appropriate
containment to keep material from spreading. If diked material
can be pumped, store recovered material in appropriate
container.
Clean up remaining materials from spill with suitable
absorbent.
Local or national regulations may apply to releases anddisposal of this material, as well as those materials and items
employed in the cleanup of releases. You will need todetermine which regulations are applicable.
Sections 13 and 15 of this SDS provide information regarding
certain local or national requirements.

All engineering controls should be implemented by facility
design and operated in accordance with GMP principles toprotect products, workers, and the environment.
Essentially no open handling permitted.
Use closed processing systems or containment technologies.
If handled in a laboratory, use a properly designed biosafetycabinet, fume hood, or other containment device if thepotential exists for aerosolization. If this potential does notexist, handle over lined trays or benchtops.

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: If adequate local exhaust ventilation is not available or
exposure assessment demonstrates exposures outside therecommended guidelines, use respiratory protection.
Filter type
: Combined particulates and organic vapor type
Hand protection
Material:

Chemical-resistant gloves

Remarks
Eye protection::

Skin and body protection:

Hygiene measures:

Consider double gloving.
Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
If the work environment or activity involves dusty conditions,mists or aerosols, wear the appropriate goggles.
Wear a faceshield or other full face protection if there is apotential for direct contact to the face with dusts, mists, oraerosols.
Work uniform or laboratory coat.
Additional body garments should be used based upon thetask being performed (e.g., sleevelets, apron, gauntlets,
disposable suits) to avoid exposed skin surfaces.
Use appropriate degowning techniques to remove potentiallycontaminated clothing.
If exposure to chemical is likely during typical use, provide
eye flushing systems and safety showers close to theworking place.
When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
Wash contaminated clothing before re-use.
The effective operation of a facility should include review ofengineering controls, proper personal protective equipment,
appropriate degowning and decontamination procedures,industrial hygiene monitoring, medical surveillance and theuse of administrative controls.
