Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may explode when exposed to heat or flame.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Fire fighting
equipment/instructions
In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without
risk. Cool containers exposed to heat with water spray and remove container, if no risk is involved.
Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up. For massive fire in
cargo area, use unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles, if possible. If not, withdraw and let fire
burn out.
Specific methods
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials. Move
containers from fire area if you can do so without risk. Cool containers exposed to flames with
water until well after the fire is out. In the event of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.
General fire hazards
Extremely flammable aerosol.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. 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. Use personal protection recommended in Section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up Refer to attached safety data sheets and/or instructions for use. Eliminate all ignition sources (no
smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.)
away from spilled material. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Move the cylinder to a safe and
open area if the leak is irreparable. Isolate area until gas has dispersed. Use water spray to reduce
vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Scoop up used absorbent into drums or other appropriate
container. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. Following product
recovery, flush area with water. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
Avoid discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground.
