SECTION 5: Firefighting measures

Flash point : 15 °C (59 °F)

Method: closed cup

Autoignition temperature : No data available

Suitable extinguishing : Alcohol-resistant foam. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical.

media

Unsuitable extinguishing : High volume water jet.

media

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

Special protective : Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if

equipment for fire-fighters necessary.

Further information : Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This

must not be discharged into drains. Fire residues and
contaminated fire extinguishing water must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations. For safety reasons in case
of fire, cans should be stored separately in closed
containments. Use a water spray to cool fully closed
containers.

Fire and explosion : Do not spray on an open flame or any other incandescent
protection material. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity
discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapors). Use
only explosion-proof equipment. Keep away from open flames,
hot surfaces and sources of ignition.

Hazardous decomposition : Hydrogen Sulfide. Sulfur oxides.

products

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures

Personal precautions : Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate

ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate
personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to
form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low
areas.

Environmental precautions : Prevent product from entering drains. Prevent further leakage
or spillage if safe to do so. If the product contaminates rivers
and lakes or drains inform respective authorities.

Methods for cleaning up : Contain spillage, and then collect with non-combustible

absorbent material, (e.g. sand, earth, diatomaceous earth,
vermiculite) and place in container for disposal according to
local / national regulations (see section 13).

SECTION 7: Handling and storage

Handling

Advice on safe handling : In case of an accident, this substance must be handled under
Strictly Controlled Conditions (SCC) in accordance with
REACH regulation Article 18(4) for transported isolated
intermediates. Avoid formation of aerosol. Do not breathe
vapors/dust. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. For personal
protection see section 8. Smoking, eating and drinking should
be prohibited in the application area. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges. Provide sufficient air
exchange and/or exhaust in work rooms. Open drum carefully
as content may be under pressure. Dispose of rinse water in
accordance with local and national regulations.

Advice on protection : Do not spray on an open flame or any other incandescent

against fire and explosion material. Take necessary action to avoid static electricity
discharge (which might cause ignition of organic vapors). Use
only explosion-proof equipment. Keep away from open flames,
hot surfaces and sources of ignition.

Storage

Requirements for storage : Prevent unauthorized access. No smoking. Keep container

areas and containers tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers
which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright
to prevent leakage. Observe label precautions. Electrical
installations / working materials must comply with the
technological safety standards.

Engineering measures
The substance is registered as a Transported Isolated Intermediate with Strictly Controlled
Conditions (SCC) defined in Article 18(4) of Regulation EC No. 1907/2006 and must therefore be
handled as such.
Adequate ventilation to control airborned concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits.
Consider the potential hazards of this material (see Section 2), applicable exposure limits, job
activities, and other substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting
personal protective equipment. If engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent
exposure to harmful levels of this material, the personal protective equipment listed below is
recommended. The user should read and understand all instructions and limitations supplied with
the equipment since protection is usually provided for a limited time or under certain circumstances.

SDS Number:100000013403 5/13

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection : Wear a supplied-air NIOSH approved respirator unless

ventilation or other engineering controls are adequate to
maintain minimal oxygen content of 19.5% by volume under
normal atmospheric pressure. Wear a NIOSH approved
respirator that provides protection when working with this
material if exposure to harmful levels of airborne material may
occur, such as:. Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors.
Use a positive pressure, air-supplying respirator if there is
potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not
known, or other circumstances where air-purifying respirators
may not provide adequate protection.

Hand protection : The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed

with the producers of the protective gloves. Please observe
the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time
which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into
consideration the specific local conditions under which the
product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the
contact time. Gloves should be discarded and replaced if there
is any indication of degradation or chemical breakthrough.

Eye protection : Eye wash bottle with pure water. Wear face-shield and
protective suit for abnormal processing problems.

Skin and body protection : Choose body protection according to the amount and
concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.
Wear as appropriate:. Flame-resistant clothing. Workers
should wear antistatic footwear.

Hygiene measures : Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. When using do not
eat or drink. When using do not smoke. Wash hands before
breaks and immediately after handling the product.
