Fire and Explosion Hazard : The product itself does not burn. Hazardous decomposition products formed 

under fire conditions. Hazardous combustion products: Hydrogen fluoride 

Carbon dioxide (CO2) Carbon monoxide Other hazardous decomposition 

products may be formed. 

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. 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) : Avoid formation of respirable particles. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe 

dust or spray mist. Do not breathe vapour. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and 

clothing. 

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. 

Do not spray near open flame or heated surface.
