HEALTH · Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. · Contact may cause burns to skin and eyes. · Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. · Runoff from fire control may cause pollution. · CALL EMERGENCY RESPONSE Telephone Number on Shipping Paper first. If Shipping Paper not available or no answer, refer to appropriate telephone number listed on the inside back cover. · As an immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area for at least 25 meters (75 feet) in all directions. · Keep unauthorized personnel away. · Stay upwind, uphill and/or upstream. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING · Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). · Structural firefighters' protective clothing will only provide limited protection. Large Spill · Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 100 meters (330 feet). Fire · If tank, rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire, ISOLATE for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions; also, consider initial evacuation for 800 meters (1/2 mile) in all directions.  | In Canada, an Emergency Response Assistance Plan (ERAP) may be required for this product.

Use DRY sand, graphite powder, dry sodium chloride-based extinguishers, G-1® or Met-L-X® powder.
Also, see GUIDE 170. Fire involving Tanks or Car/Trailer Loads · Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. · For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. · Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. · ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. SPILL OR LEAK · ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). · Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Small Dry Spill · With clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area. Large Spill · Wet down with water and dike for later disposal. · Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. FIRST AID · Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved and take precautions to protect themselves. · Move victim to fresh air. · Call 911 or emergency medical service. · Give artificial respiration if victim is not breathing. · Administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. · Remove and isolate contaminated clothing and shoes. · In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at least 20 minutes. · Removal of solidified molten material from skin requires medical assistance. · Keep victim calm and warm. |
