facilities.

Other Information: Do not attempt to give anything to a semi-conscious or

unconcious person.

5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting Procedures: Firefighters should wear full protective gear,

including self-contained breathing apparatus. If possible and without risk,

remove intact containers from exposure to fire. Otherwise, spray unopened

containers with water to keep cool. Whenever possible, contain fire-fighting

water by bunding area with sand or earth to prevent it entering any bodies of

water.

Extinguishing Media: Carbon dioxide, water spray, dry agent, foam.

dangerous reaction known under normal conditions of use. Avoid extreme

heat and fire. Toxic thermal decomposition products may include oxides of

carbon, sulphur and nitrogen and compounds of chlorine and fluorine.

6. Accidental Release Measures

Dealing with spills and disposal may result in the potential for increased

personal exposure. During such operations it is recommended that the

following protective clothing is worn: Cotton overalls buttoned to the neck

and wrist Waterproof gloves Contain spill, sweep up or shovel and place in

properly labelled sealed drums for safe disposal. Deal with all spillages

immediately. If contamination of drains, streams, watercourses etc. is

unavoidable, warn the local water authority.

13. Disposal Considerations

Triple or (preferably) pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings

to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling

replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection

point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and bury empty containers in

a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available bury the containers below

500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose

clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers

and product should not be burnt.
