FIREFIGHTING MEASURES 5.1 Extinguishing media Suitable extinguishing media Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Carbon oxides, Sulphur oxides Flash back possible over considerable distance., Container explosion may occur under fire conditions., Vapours may form explosive mixture with air., May explode when heated. 5.3 Advice for firefighters Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary. 5.4 Further information Use water spray to cool unopened containers. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapours, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapours accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapours can accumulate in low areas. For personal protection see section 8. 6.2 Environmental precautions Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided. 6.3 Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13). 6.4 Reference to other sections For disposal see section 13. 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE 7.1 Precautions for safe handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist.
