FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 / 12 Product code: CESSULFDRY Product name: Cesium Sulfate, Caesium Sulfate Revision date: 18-Apr-2017 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Foam. Dry chemical. Water. Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: None. Specific hazards arising from the Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. chemical: Hazardous combustion products: Oxides of Cesium. Oxides of sulfur. Protective equipment and In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Wear suitable protective precautions for firefighters: equipment. Risk of Dust Explosion: This material is an inorganic dust and will not create nor support conditions that would result in a dust explosion or fire 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Personal precautions: Avoid dust formation. Ensure adequate ventilation. Use personal protective equipment. See also Section 8. Environmental Precautions: Environmental Precautions: Contain spilled material on land, if safe to do so. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages cannot be contained. See also Section 13. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up Methods for containment: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Methods for cleaning up: Do not create a dust cloud by using a brush or compressed air. Clean up promptly by vacuum. Use of a vacuum with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration is recommended. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. See Section 13. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for safe handling Advice on safe handling: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid dust formation. Do not breathe dust. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at machinery and at places where dust can be generated. Avoid ingestion. Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure. General hygiene considerations: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Storage Conditions: Hygroscopic material. Will absorb water readily from atmosphere. Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Keep in properly labeled containers.
