TAKING INFORMATION ON PRODUCT
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHERS: DRY POWDER OR WATER
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
TOXIC FUMES OF CHLORINE AND NITROGEN COMPOUNDS
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTING:
WEAR SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. PACKAGING
WILL BURN IF INVOLVED IN A FIRE. THE PRODUCT IS ESSENTIALLY NON-COMBUSTIBLE
BUT WILL GIVE OFF TOXIC FUMES WHEN HEATED. BREATHING APPARATUS MUST BE WORN
WHEN FIGHTING FIRES. IF SAFE TO DO SO, REMOVE UNDAMAGED CONTAINERS FROM
FIRE AREA IN ORDER TO MINIMISE HAZARD FROM RELEASE OF TOXIC FUMES.
EXTINGUISH SMALL FIRES WITH DRY POWDER EXTINGUISHERS. IT WILL OFTEN BE
SAFER TO LET THE FIRE BURN ITSELF OUT. WHERE IT IS DECIDED TO FIGHT THE
FIRE WITH WATER, LARGE VOLUMES MUST BE USED. (IF INSUFFICIENT WATER IS USED
TO FLOOD THE PRODUCT THERE WILL BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD ASSOCIATED WITH THE
HOT DAMP MATERIAL). CONTAIN FIRE FIGHTING WATER WHERE POSSIBLE. INFORM
LOCAL WATER AUTHORITY OF ANY DISCHARGE INTO SEWER OR WATERCOURSES.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
DO NOT BREATH FUMES. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND ENSURE ADEQUATE
VENTILATION OR WEAR SUITABLE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
