Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture: Risks of ignition followed by flame propagation or

secondary explosions can be caused by the accumulation of dust, e.g. on floors and ledges.

Advice for firefighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary. Standard

procedure for chemical fires.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Containment: Avoid dust formation

Clean-up Procedures: Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Clean up promptly by sweeping

or vacuum. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.

Special Instructions: Contaminated surfaces will be extremely slippery. Avoid spillage on floor as the

product can become very slippery when wet. Sweep up to prevent slipping hazard. Dust deposits should
