General information
5. Fire-fighting measures
Water fog. Foam. Dry chemical powder. Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Suitable extinguishing media
None known.
Unsuitable extinguishing
media
Contents under pressure. Pressurised container may explode when exposed to heat or flame.
During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed.
Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
In case of fire: Stop leak if safe to do so. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed
to heat. If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all
directions; also consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions. ALWAYS stay
away from tanks engulfed in flame. Move containers from fire area if you can do so without risk.
Containers should be cooled with water to prevent vapour 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.
Fire fighting
equipment/instructions
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.
Specific methods
Flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure. Pressurised container may explode when exposed
to heat or flame.
General fire hazards
6. Accidental release measures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. Many gases are heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or
confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing
during clean-up. Emergency personnel need self-contained breathing equipment. 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. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Refer to attached safety data sheets and/or instructions for use. 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. Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area).
Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil etc) away from spilled material.
Large Spills: Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Absorb in vermiculite, dry sand or
earth and place into containers. Scoop up used absorbent into drums or other appropriate
container. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
