Special hazards arising from the product

A fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health. Do not breathe in smoke.

In the event of a fire, the following may be formed: carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).

5.3 

Advice for firefighters

Fire-fighting personnel are to be equipped with autonomous insulating breathing apparatus.

Keep packages near the fire cool, to prevent pressurised containers from bursting. Prevent the effluent of fire-fighting measures from entering drains or waterways.

6.1 

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Consult the safety measures listed under headings 7 and 8.

For non first aid worker:   Avoid any contact with the skin and eyes.
