| Precautions in connection with Fire | M |
| Unsuitable Extinguishing Media | M |
| Other Information | If tanks, drums or containers of this material are heated, they may rupture and project corrosive materials over a wide area. |
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
| Emergency Procedures | Keep unnecessary people away; Isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; Keep out of low areas. Do not walk or touch spilt material unless wearing personal protection as outlined under MSDS. Shut off ignition sources, no flares, smoking or flames in hazard area. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Water spray may reduce vapour. |
| Spills & Disposal | For large spills: Contain spillages with sand or earth. Transfer both liquid and solids to suitable container(s). Treat residues as for small spills. For small spills: If local regulations permit, mop up with plenty of water and run to waste, diluting greatly with running water. Otherwise, absorb on inert absorbent and transfer to suitable container. Wash site of spillage thoroughly with water and detergent. Ventilate area to dispel any residual vapours. |
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
| Precautions for Safe Handling | M |
| Conditions for Safe Storage | Store in cool place in original container. Store away from oxidisers, acids and foodstuffs. Keep containers closed when not in use. Store out of reach of children. Large quantities should be stored in a bunded area. Do not mix with other chemicals. Clean up all spills and splashes promptly; avoid secondary accidents. |

| Personal Protective Equipment | This product is extremely corrosive. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid breathing aerosols. Recommended personal protection:- Neoprene or nitrile apron Neoprene or nitrile. Chemical goggles or faceshield to protect eyes. Respirators in accordance with AS/NZS 1715/1716. The use of a P1 respirator with replaceable filters is recommended. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levels and type of contaminant. If entering spaces where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknown then the use of a Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying with AS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other acceptable International Standard is recommended. Always maintain a high level of personal hygiene when using cleaning chemicals. That is wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet. |
