5. Firefighting Measures

Suitable extinguishing equipment

Fire

Not combustible, however, if material is involved in a fire use: Fine water spray, normal foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).

HAZCHEM

Not combustible, however following evaporation of the water component of the material, the residual material can burn if ignited. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon.

Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

• Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
• Wear appropriate skin, eye and respiratory protection. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact and breathing dust or powder. Use in a well-ventilated area. Do not eat, drink or
• smoke while cleaning up. Ensure adequate ventilation.
• Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
• Wear appropriate personal protective gear. Collect spilled material for silver recovery by vacuuming or sweeping without raising dust. Rinse spill area with water. Do not allow this material or its rinsing's to
• enter storm or sanitary sewers or other waterways (see also Section 13).

Environmental precautions

Prevent spills and rinsing's from entering storm or sanitary sewers or other waterways and contact with soil.

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

• Large spills - Prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Stop leak if safe to do so and contain spill. Absorb using sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material.
• If spill is too large or if absorbent is not available create a dam to stop the material spreading. Collect product and place into clearly labelled containers for disposal in accordance with local regulations. After spills wash the area preventing run off from entering drains. If a significant quantity enters drains, advise emergency services.
• Small spills - Do not normally need any special clean up measures. Never return spills to original container for re-use. Launder contaminated clothing before storage or reuse.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

• Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged repeated skin contact and breathing mists or vapours.
• Use in well-ventilated area. Do not empty waste into sanitary drains.

Conditions for safe storage

• Conditions for safe storage, including incompatibilities:
• Store in a cool, dry area. Use with adequate ventilation. Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
• Store only in the original container.
• Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities. Make sure the containers holding this product are kept tightly closed. Keep containers dry and away from water. Make sure the product does not come in contact with incompatible products refer Section 10 "Stability & Reactivity".
• Store in clearly labelled containers.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

Ensure ventilation is adequate and that air concentrations of components are controlled below quoted Exposure Standards. Use in well ventilated areas. Keep containers closed when not in use.

Personal protective equipment
