SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
5.1. Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media : Water spray, water fog, dry chemical, alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media : None known.
5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Fire hazard
Explosion hazard
: Flammable gas. Products of combustion may include, and are not limited to: oxides of
carbon, hydrofluoric acid, carbonyl fluoride.
: Heat may build pressure, rupturing closed containers, spreading fire and increasing risk of
burns and injuries.
5.3. Advice for firefighters
Firefighting instructions : DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches explosives. Evacuate area. Vapors are heavier than air
and may travel considerable distance to an ignition source and flash back to source of vapors.
Protection during firefighting : Keep upwind of fire. Wear full fire fighting turn-out gear (full Bunker gear) and respiratory
protection (SCBA).
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
6.1. Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
General measures : Use personal protection recommended in Section 8. Isolate the hazard area and deny entry to
unnecessary and unprotected personnel. Eliminate sources of ignition.
6.2. Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
For containment : Ventilate the area thoroughly, especially low lying areas (basements, workpits etc).
Methods for cleaning up : Leave the product to evaporate. Provide ventilation.
6.3. Reference to other sections
See section 8 for further information on protective clothing and equipment and section 13 for advice on waste disposal.
SECTION 7: Handling and storage
7.1. Precautions for safe handling
Additional hazards when processed : Hazardous waste due to potential risk of explosion. Pressurized container: Do not pierce or
burn, even after use. Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.
Precautions for safe handling : Do not spray on an open flame or other ignition source. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid
breathing dust/fume/gas/mist/vapors/spray. Do not swallow. Provide local exhaust or general
room ventilation. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Prevent the build-up of electrostatic
charge. Use non-sparking tools.
Hygiene measures : Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking.
7.2. Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Technical measures : Proper grounding procedures to avoid static electricity should be followed.
Storage conditions : Keep out of the reach of children. Keep container dry and in a well-ventilated place. Protect
from sunlight. Do not expose to temperatures exceeding 50 °C/122 °F. Keep in fireproof place. Store in original container. Do not store in enclosed vehicle.
