Combustion Products Specific Methods DO NOT USE WATER OR FOAM. Small fire: Use dry chemical, soda ash, lime or sand.If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from fire area. Large fire: Use DRY sand, dry chemical, soda ash or lime or withdraw and let fire burn. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Avoid getting water inside containers. Specific hazards Will produce flammable substance on contact with water. Will ignite on contact arising from the with water or moist air and react vigorously or explosively on contact with chemical water. Will be ignited by heat, sparks or flame and may re-ignite after fire is extinguished. Will produce irritating, poisonous and/or corrosive gases. Containers may explode when heated. Runoff may create multiple fire or explosion hazard.

Structural firefighter's uniform will provide limited protection. connection with Fire 6. Accidental release measures Spills & Disposal ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) within at least 25m. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if safe to do so - Prevent entry into waterways, drains or confined areas. Water spray may be used to knock down vapours or divert vapour clouds. DO NOT GET WATER inside containers or in contact with substance. Small spill Cover with DRY earth, sand or other non-combustible material followed by plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain. Large Spill SEEK EXPERT ADVICE ON HANDLING AND DISPOSAL. Personal Precautions Evacuate the area of all non-essential personnel. Avoid inhalation, contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Personal Protection Wear protective clothing specified for normal operations (see Section 8) 7. Handling and storage Precautions for Safe Avoid substance contact and generation and inhalation of dust. Prevent all Handling contact with water and with moist atmosphere. Conditions for safe Keep containers securely sealed and protected against physical damage. Store storage, including away from sources of heat or ignition. Keep dry - reacts with water; may lead any incompatibilities to drum rupture. Prevent all contact with water and with moist atmosphere.

Storage Regulations Refer Australian Standard AS/NZS 5026-2012 'The storage and handling of Class 4 dangerous goods'. Refer Australian Standard AS/NZS 2243.10:2004 'Safety in laboratories - Storage of chemicals'. 8. Exposure controls/personal protection Other Exposure No exposure standards have been established for this product by Safe Work Information Australia, however, the TWA exposure standard for dusts/mists not otherwise specified is 10 mg/m3. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These Workplace Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational health hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level as is workable. These workplace exposure standards should not be used as fine dividing lines between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a measure of relative toxicity. Appropriate Maintain the concentrations values below the TWA. This may be achieved by engineering controls process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods. Respiratory Where ventilation is not adequate, respiratory protection may be required. Protection Avoid breathing dust, vapours or mists. Respiratory protection should comply with AS 1716 - Respiratory Protective Devices and be selected in accordance with AS 1715 - Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels. In event of emergency or planned entry into unknown concentrations a positive pressure, full-facepiece SCBA should be used. If respiratory protection is required, institute a complete respiratory protection
