be less effective.
Unsuitable extinguishing : High volume water jet
media
Physicochemical hazards arising from the chemical
Specific hazards during : Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water
firefighting courses.
Violent steam generation or eruption may occur upon
application of direct water stream to hot liquids.
Hazardous combustion : During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in
products addition to combustion products of varying composition which
may be toxic and/or irritating.
Combustion products may include and are not limited to:
Carbon monoxide. Carbon dioxide.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters
Special protective equipment : Wear positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus
for firefighters (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire
fighting helmet, coat, trousers, boots, and gloves). Avoid
contact with this material during fire fighting operations. If
contact is likely, change to full chemical resistant fire fighting
clothing with self-contained breathing apparatus. If this is not
available, wear full chemical resistant clothing with self-
contained breathing apparatus and fight fire from a remote
location. If protective equipment is not available or not used,
fight fire from a protected location or safe distance. For
protective equipment in post-fire or non-fire cleanup situations,
refer to the relevant sections.
Specific extinguishing : Collect contaminated fire extinguishing water separately. This
methods must not be discharged into drains.
Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must
be disposed off in accordance with local regulations.
Keep people away.
Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry.
Use water spray to cool fire exposed containers and fire
affected zone until fire is out and danger of reignition has
passed.
Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water.
Do not use direct water stream. May spread fire.
Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to
protect personnel and minimize property damage.

Handling
Precautions for safe handling
Advice on protection against : Normal measures for preventive fire protection.
fire and explosion
Advice on safe handling : Do not get in eyes, on skin, on clothing.
Do not breathe vapours/dust.
Do not swallow.
Keep container closed.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Use with adequate ventilation.
Smoking, eating and drinking should be prohibited in the
application area.
To avoid spills during handling keep bottle on a metal tray.
Dispose of rinse water in accordance with local and national
regulations.
Spills of these organic materials on hot fibrous insulations may
lead to lowering of the autoignition temperatures possibly
resulting in spontaneous combustion.
For personal protection see section 8.
Storage
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Conditions for safe storage : Store in the following material(s): Carbon steel. Stainless
steel. Phenolic lined steel drums. Do not store in: Aluminum.
Copper. Galvanized iron. Galvanized steel.
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated
place.
Electrical installations / working materials must comply with
the technological safety standards.
Storage period : 12 Months

Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection : Use chemical goggles.
Eye wash fountain should be located in immediate work area.
Wear face-shield and protective suit for abnormal processing
problems.
Skin protection : Use protective clothing chemically resistant to this
material.Selection of specific items such as faceshield, boots,
apron, or full-body suit will depend on the task.Choose body
protection according to the amount and concentration of the
dangerous substance at the work place.
Hand protection
Remarks : Use chemical resistant gloves classified under Standard
EN374: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-
organisms. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials
include: Butyl rubber. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL").
Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include:
Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber
("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl").
Viton. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may
occur, a glove with a protection class of 4 or higher
(breakthrough time greater than 120 minutes according to EN
374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a
glove with a protection class of 1 or higher (breakthrough
time greater than 10 minutes according to EN 374) is
recommended.
The selection of a specific glove for a particular application
and duration of use in a workplace should also take into
account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited
to: other chemicals which may be handled, physical
requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal
protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as
well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove
supplier.
Respiratory protection : Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a
potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or
guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when
adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or discomfort
have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk
assessment process. For most conditions, no respiratory
protection should be needed; however, if material is heated
or sprayed, use an approved air-purifying respirator. Use the
following CE approved air-purifying respirator: Organic vapor
