5. Fire Fighting Measures
Extinguishing Media : The product itself is not combustible; in case of fire in its immediate
environment, preferred extinguishing media are water spray, foam, CO2,
dry ice.
Unsuitable
Extinguishing Media : Water jet.
Hazards from combustion : Decomposes on heating. Combustion can produce toxic fumes and
of the product irritating nitrate gases.
Protective equipment : In case of fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus and eye
protection.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Emergency Procedures : Ensure adequate ventilation. Wear safety glasses and appropriate gloves.
Chemical-resistant gloves are needed for the sustained contact.
Disposable nitrile gloves are adequate for incidental contact (rinse hands
after removing gloves). Prevent product from entering sewer drains or
surface waters.
Personal Precautions : Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Containment and : Stop the source of the spill. Control the spill using floor dry, absorbent
Cleanup, Materials, materials booms/socks, or towels. Clean up the spill using absorbent.
