Unsuitable extinguishing media: Do not use a water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.
Vapors may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flashback. During a fire, gases
hazardous to health may be formed.
5.3 Advice for firefighters: Firefighters should wear full-face, self-contained breathing apparatus and impervious
protective clothing. Firefighters should avoid inhaling any combustion products.
Additional information: Do not release runoff from fire to sewers or waterways.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment, and emergency procedures:
6.1.1 For non-emergency personnel: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind
of spills and leaks. Take precautionary measures against static discharge. Eliminate all ignition sources. No
smoking, flames, sparks, or flames in the immediate area. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing
during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist/vapors. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Local authorities should be advised
if significant spillages cannot be contained.
6.1.2 For emergency responders: Keep unnecessary personnel away. Wear appropriate protective
equipment and clothing during clean-up. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the SDS.
6.2 Environmental precautions: Avoid direct contact with the material. Stop leak if without risk. Move
containers from the spill area. Prevent entry into sewers or waterways.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
6.3.1 For containment: Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in the immediate area).
Keep combustibles such as wood, paper, and oil) away from spilled material. Take precautionary measures against
static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. The product is immiscible with water and will spread on the water's
surface. Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements, or confined areas.
6.3.2 For clean-up:
6.3.2.1 Small spill; Absorb with earth, sand, or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers for later
disposal. Clean the surface thoroughly to remove residual contamination.
6.3.2.2 Large spill: Stop the material flow if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible.
Use a non-combustible material like vermiculite, sand, or earth to soak up the product and place it into a
container for later disposal. Following product recovery, flush the area with water.
6.3.3 Other information: Never return spills to original containers for reuse. Put material in suitable,
covered, labeled containers.
6.4 Reference to other sections: See section 8 of the SDS for personal protection. For waste disposal, see
section 13 of the SDS.
