Protective equipment and precautions
for firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH
(approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.

SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.
Environmental precautions
Environmental precautions See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information. Prevent product from entering drains.
Should not be released into the environment.
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 Use personal protective equipment as required. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp
to minimize spreading and keep powder dry. Take up mechanically, placing in appropriate
containers for disposal. Avoid creating dust. Clean contaminated surface thoroughly.

SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling
Advice on safe handling May cause damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure. Contact with water
liberates toxic, highly flammable gas.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities Conditions Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store at room
temperature.
Incompatible materials None known based on information supplied.

SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Control parameters
Exposure Guidelines This product, as supplied, does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational
exposure limits established by the region specific regulatory bodies.
Appropriate engineering controls
Engineering Controls Showers
Eyewash stations
Ventilation systems
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin and Body Protection Wear protective gloves and protective clothing.
