5. Fire-Fighting Measures

Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media:

water spray, foam, dry powder

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

cyanide, Phosphine, amine derivatives, nitriles can be emitted at > 310 °C
Under special fire conditions traces of other toxic substances are possible. Formation of further
decomposition and oxidation products depends upon the fire conditions.

Advice for fire-fighters

Protective equipment for fire-fighting:
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus and turn-out gear.

Further information:
Dispose of fire debris and contaminated extinguishing water in accordance with official regulations.

6. Accidental release measures

High risk of slipping due to leakage/spillage of product.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

No special precautions necessary.

Environmental precautions
This product is not regulated by CERCLA ('Superfund'). This product is not regulated by

RCRA. No special precautions necessary.

Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

For small amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.
For large amounts: Pick up with suitable appliance and dispose of.

7. Handling and Storage

Precautions for safe handling

Provide suitable exhaust ventilation at the drying process and in the area surrounding the melt
outlet of processing machines. Closed containers should only be opened in well-ventilated areas.
Ensure thorough ventilation of stores and work areas.

Any short stoppages in production, it is recommended that you inject material into the mould not
purge an air shot. Any molten material drooling from the machine nozzle or hot runner nozzles
can self-ignite when in open atmosphere.
It is therefore advisable to dispose of purgings etc into water containers.

For additional guidelines and recommendations see the product-specific "Processing Data Sheet".
 Protection against fire and explosion:
Take precautionary measures against static discharges.

Handling of hot melt may produce small flame-up conditions. Hot melt should be placed in
cool water immediately if flame-up occurs.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities

Suitable materials for containers: Low density polyethylene (LDPE), High density polyethylene
(HDPE), Aluminium, Carbon steel (Iron)

Further information on storage conditions: Keep container tightly closed. Avoid deposition of
dust. Protect against moisture.

Storage stability:
Protect against moisture.

 Advice on system design:
Ensure adequate ventilation. Provide local exhaust ventilation to control dusts/vapours.

Personal protective equipment

Respiratory protection:
Wear respiratory protection if ventilation is inadequate. Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent)
organic vapour/particulate respirator. Do not exceed the maximum use concentration for the
respirator facepiece/cartridge combination. Wear the following respiratory protection if exposure
limit for phosphine may be exceeded: Wear a NIOSH-certified (or equivalent) supplied-air
respirator.

Hand protection:
Wear gloves to prevent contact during mechanical processing and/or hot melt conditions.

Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields. Tightly fitting safety goggles (chemical goggles).

Body protection:
Body protection must be chosen based on level of activity and exposure.

General safety and hygiene measures:

Do not inhale gases/vapours/aerosols. After use of gloves apply skin-cleaning agents and
skin cosmetics. Wash soiled clothing immediately.
