Thermal decomposition :

To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat.

Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapours.

Fire and Explosion Hazard : Hazardous decomposition products formed under fire conditions. Hazardous

combustion products: Hydrogen fluoride Carbon monoxide, Carbon dioxide

Suitable extinguishing media : Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and

the surrounding environment.

Firefighting Instructions : Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.

Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Cool containers / tanks with water spray.

Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. 

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

NOTE: Review FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES and HANDLING (PERSONNEL) sections before proceeding with cleanup. Use appropriate PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT during clean-up.

Safeguards (Personnel) : Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Use personal protective equipment.

Ventilate the area.

Spill Cleanup : Dam up. Soak up with inert absorbent material (e.g. sand, silica gel, acid

binder, universal binder, sawdust). Pick up and transfer to properly labelled

containers.

Accidental Release Measures : Do not discharge to streams, ponds, lakes or sewers. Avoid subsoil

penetration. 

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Handling (Personnel) : Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Wash

contaminated clothing before re-use.

Handling (Physical Aspects) : To avoid thermal decomposition, do not overheat. Thermal decomposition

can lead to release of irritating gases and vapours.

Storage : Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.

Store in accordance with National Fire Protection Association

recommendations. 

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering controls : Do not generate respirable particles unless suitable ventilation or respirator

are used. In spray applications, use airless type pressure spray equipment

with spray tip pressure less than 4.1 bar (60 psi), and exhaust ducts, drip

pans, or other design features to prevent worker exposure to mists and

overspray.

Use only in area provided with appropriate exhaust ventilation. Use

appropriate workplace ventilation to remove fumes that may be released on

heating.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : In case of mist, spray or aerosol exposure wear suitable personal respiratory

protection and protective suit.

Hand protection : Additional protection: Impervious gloves

Eye protection : Wear safety glasses or coverall chemical splash goggles.

Skin and body protection : Lightweight protective clothing
