Precautionary statements

P202 Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood. P210 Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources. No smoking.

P501 Dispose of contents/ container in accordance with national regulations 4.FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES For major fires call the Fire Service. Ensure an escape path is always available from any fire. There is a danger of flashback if sparks or hot surfaces ignite vapour. Use foam, dry powder or water fog. DO NOT USE water jets. FIRE IN CONFINED SPACES SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY TRAINED PERSONNEL WEARING APPROVED BREATHING APPARATUS. Combustion Products Toxic fumes may be evolved on burning or exposure to heat. See stability and Reactivity Section of this Safety Data Sheet. 5.ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Any spillage should be regarded as a potential fire risk. In the event of spillage, remove all sources of ignition and ensure good ventilation. Wear protective clothing. (See Exposure controls/Personal protection of this safety data sheet) Spilled material may make surfaces slippery. Clean up spilled material immediately. Contain and recover spilled material using sand or other suitable inert absorbent material. Recovery of large spillages should be effected by specialist personnel. It is advised that stocks of suitable absorbent material should be held in quantities sufficient to deal with any spillage which may be reasonably anticipated. Large and uncontained spillages should be smothered with foam to reduce the risk of ignition. The foam blanket should be maintained until the area is declared safe. Protect drains from potential spills to minimize contamination. Do not wash product into drainage system. Vapour is heavier than air and may travel to remote sources of ignition (eg. Along drainage systems, in basements etc.). If spillage has occurred in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation and check that a safe, breathable atmosphere is present before entry. In the case of spillage on water, prevent the spread of product by the use of suitable barrier equipment. Recover product from the surface. Protect environmentally sensitive areas and water supplies. In the case of spillage at sea approved dispersants may be used where authorized by the appropriate government / regulatory authorities. In the even of spillages contact the appropriate authorities. Regular surveillance on the location of the spillage should be maintained.
