According: EC 1907/2006
Large fire: Isolate a source of gas with water spray. Cool down tanks
and cylinders exposed to fire or high temperature with water at a safe
distance (explosion hazard). Remove them from the fire area if it is
possible.
: Water jet - risk of propagation of the flame.
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Substances created from thermal degradation of the product will strongly depend on conditions causing
decomposition. Following substances are expected: carbon dioxide, carbon oxide, unidentified organic and
inorganic compounds. Do not inhale combustion products, they can be dangerous for human health.
5.3 Advice for fire fighters
Extremely flammable. It forms explosive mixtures with air. Gas is heavier than air and can accumulate in the
lower sections of enclosed spaces. It displaces oxygen from the air. Containers with aerosol, exposed to fire or
excessive heating may explode. Remove them from the fire area, if it is possible. Cool down the containers with
water spray. Personal protection typical in case of fire. Do not stay in the fire zone without self-contained
breathing apparatus and protective clothing resistant to chemicals.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Limit the access for the outsiders into the breakdown area, until the suitable cleaning operations are completed.
Ensure that removing the problem and its results is conducted by a trained personnel only. In case of large
spills, isolate the exposed area. Gas can move over the ground on considerable distances. Eliminate all ignition
sources from the surrounding areas and evacuate all persons from the adjacent areas. Shut off the gas supply /
leak if it is possible without any risk. Do not enter to closed / strongly soiled areas without self-contained
breathing apparatus. Ventilate the contaminated area well. Do not inhale the gas. Avoid skin and eyes contact.
6.2 Environmental precautions
Prevent the product from entering the sewers (explosion hazard). Notify relevant emergency services.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Small spillage: left for evaporation. Do not use water to disperse the liquid phase.
