5 FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Fire/Explosion Hazard: Product is a strong oxidiser. Contact
with clothing or combustibles may cause fire. Contact with
organic liquids or vapours may cause immediate fire or
explosion, especially if heated, or may result in delayed
detonation.
Fire Extinguishing media: Use water.
Fire Fighting PPE: Wear SCBA and chemical splash suit.
Structural fire fighter’s uniform will provide limited protection.
Special fire-fighting procedures: Do not use dry chemicals, CO2
or foam. If safe to do so, move undamaged containers from
fire area.
Unusual fire hazards: Will accelerate burning when involved in a
fire. May explode from heating, shock, friction or
contamination. May react explosively with hydrocarbons
(fuels). May ignite combustibles (wood, paper, clothing, etc).
Containers may explode when heated. Run-off may create fire
or explosion hazard.
Hazardous products of combustion: Thermal decomposition will
yield oxygen gas and irritating, poisonous and/or corrosive
gases.
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Clean up all spills immediately. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Immediately contact Police or Fire Brigade.
Spill or leak area should be isolated immediately for at least 25
metre in all directions. Do not contaminate spilled material. Do not
touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing
appropriate protective clothing.
Prevent entry into waterways, drains and pits. Use a non-
combustible material like vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the
product and place in a loosely-covered container for later disposal.
7 HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for safe handling: Ensure an eye bath and safety
shower are available and ready for use. Observe good
personal hygiene practices and recommended procedures.
Wash thoroughly after handling.
Storage and Transport: Store in a cool, dry place that is well-
ventilated and away from foodstuff containers, combustibles and
organics. Direct sunlight should be avoided. Do not return
unused liquid to the containers. Do not add any other substance
to the containers.
