Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters

6. Accidental Release Measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.

Environmental precautions

• Dilute with plenty of water.
• Do not allow to enter sewers/ surface or ground water.

Methods and materials for containment and clean up

• Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand, diatomite, acid binders, universal binders, sawdust).
• Dispose contaminated material as waste according to section 13.
• Ensure adequate ventilation.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

• Ensure good ventilation/exhaustion at the workplace.
• Open and handle receptacle with care.
• Prevent formation of aerosols.
• Information about fire - and explosion protection:
• Keep ignition sources away - Do not smoke.
• Protect from heat.
• Protect against electrostatic charges.
• Keep respiratory protective device available

Conditions for safe storage

• Requirements to be met by storerooms and receptacles: Store in a cool location.
• Information about storage in one common storage facility: Not required.
• Further information about storage conditions:
• Keep container tightly sealed.
• Store in cool, dry conditions in well sealed receptacles.

8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection

Exposure Standards

Engineering controls

• General protective and hygienic measures:
• Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
• Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing
• Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
• Store protective clothing separately.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection

• Tightly sealed goggles
• Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Skin protection

Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Body protection

• Protective gloves
• The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
• Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the
• chemical mixture.
• Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation
• Material of gloves
• The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and
• varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of
• the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
• Penetration time of glove material
• The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be
• observed.

Respiratory protection

• In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use
• self-contained respiratory protective device.
