There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the
concentrations applicable, are classified as hazardous to health or the environment and hence require
reporting in this section.
Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8.
Specific hazards arising : In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst.
from the chemical
Hazardous thermal : Decomposition products may include the following materials:
decomposition products halogenated compounds
Special protective actions : Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
for fire-fighters there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training.
Special protective : Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained
equipment for fire-fighters breathing apparatus (SCBA) with a full face-piece operated in positive pressure
mode.
Environmental precautions : Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).
Conditions for safe storage, : Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected from
including any direct sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible
incompatibilities materials (see section 10) and food and drink. Store locked up. Attacks many
metals producing extremely flammable hydrogen gas which can form explosive
mixtures with air. Separate from alkalis. Segregate from oxidizing materials.
Corrosive materials should be stored in a separate safety storage cabinet or room.
Keep container tightly closed and sealed until ready for use. Containers that have
been opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Do not
store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containment to avoid environmental
contamination.
Appropriate engineering : Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas,
controls vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended
or statutory limits.
Environmental exposure : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Possibility of hazardous : Attacks many metals producing extremely flammable hydrogen gas which can form
reactions explosive mixtures with air.
Incompatible materials : Attacks many metals producing extremely flammable hydrogen gas which can form
explosive mixtures with air.
Reactive or incompatible with the following materials: alkalis, oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition : Under normal conditions of storage and use, hazardous decomposition products
products should not be produced.
