SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Autoignition Temperature : >300˚C
Flash Point : >300˚C
Flammable Limits (LEL) : Not determined
Flammable Limits (UEL) : Not determined
Suitable Extinguishing Media : On large fires used dry chemical, foam, or water spray. On small fires use
carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire
exposed containers.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media : None.
Specific hazards in case of fire : Decomposes on heating and can release formaldehyde.
Avoid reaction with oxidizers.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters:
No acute hazard. Move container from fire area, if possible. Avoid breathing vapors or dusts. Keep upwind. Use full
firefighting gear (bunker gear). Any supplied‐air respirator with full face piece and operated in a pressure‐demand
or other positive pressure mode in combination with a separate escape air supply. Use any self contained
breathing apparatus with a full face piece.
Alert fire brigade and indicate hazard location. Wear breathing apparatus plus protective clothing. Cool fire
exposed containers with water spray from a protected location. Do not approach containers suspected to be hot. If
safe to do so, remove containers from path of fire.

SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions: Use appropriate personal protection (See section 8)
Environmental precautions: For larger spills, cover drains and build dikes to prevent entry into sewer systems or
bodies of water. Collect the resulting residue containing solution. Place in a metal container approved for
transportation by appropriate authorities. Dispose of collected material as soon as possible.
Methods for material containment and cleaning up: Observe precautions from other sections. Contain spill.
Working from around the edges of the spill inward, cover with bentonite, vermiculite, or commercially available
inorganic absorbent material. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Collect as much of the spilled
material as possible. Clean up residue with an appropriate solvent. Seal the container.

personal protection equipment. Practice good personal hygiene to prevent accidental ingestion after handling.
Properly dispose of clothing that cannot be contaminated.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities: Store away from oxidizing materials. Store product in a
closed container located in a dry area. Do not store in open, inadequate, or mislabeled packaging. Check that
containers are clearly labeled. Use metal cans, metal drums, plastic, or lined fiber containers. Keep away from heat
and flame.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency personnel to address
the hazards that are presented by short-term, acute exposure to material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar
emergencies. Hazard ratings are primarily based on inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also
include the toxic properties of combustion or decomposition products that are known to be generated in significant
quantities.
Hazardous Material Identification System (HMIS) hazard ratings are designed to inform employees of chemical
hazards in the workplace. The ratings are based on inherent properties of the material under expected conditions of
normal use and are not intended for use in emergency situations.
The information provided in this Safety Data Sheet is correct to the best of our knowledge, information and belief at
the date of its publication. The information is designed only as a guidance for safe handling, use, processing,
storage, transportation, disposal and release and shall not be considered a warranty or quality specification of any
type. The information provided relates only to the specific material identified at the top of this SDS and may not be
valid when the SDS material is used in combination with any other materials or in any process, unless specified in
the text. Material users should review the information and recommendations in the specific context of their intended
manner of handling, use, processing and storage, including an assessment of the appropriateness of the SDS material
in the user’s end product, if applicable.
