5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURESExtinguishing Media:
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:
Specific Hazards Arising fromthe Chemical:
Special Fire-Fighting Procedures:

Use extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire conditions.
NoneMay emit toxic fumes under fire conditions.
Stay upwind of the fire.
Restrict unauthorized entry into the fire area.
In case of fire in the surroundings, douse the surrounding equipment with water to coolit.
Move the container from the fire area if it can be done without risk.
If moving the container (bag) is impossible, cool it and its surroundings by dousing
them with water.

6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions, Protective
Prohibit unauthorized entry into the spillage area.
Equipment and Emergency
Wear protective equipment when entering the spillage area.
Procedures:
Stay upwind. Do not breathe dust, vapors, or fumes.
If necessary, spray water to prevent dust from spreading into the air.
If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation before entry.
Environmental Precautions:
Be sure to prevent the spillage from entering rivers, sewers, or soil.
Recovery and Neutralization:
Collect the spillage into an empty container that can be sealed.
If necessary, moisten the spillage with a spray of water before collecting it, to prevent itfrom spreading into the air.
After collecting the spillage, dispose of it properly as industrial waste.
Methods and Materials forPrevent further spillage if safe.
Containment and Cleaning Up:
Prevention of Secondary Hazards:
Prevent entry into drains, sewers, basements, or closed areas.
