5. Fire-Fighting Measures

 

 

Extinguishing measures

 

Extinguish a small fire with powder or carbon dioxide then apply water to prevent re-ignition.

 

- Suitable:

Powder, carbon dioxide, foam, watermist (large amounts only).

 

- Not to be used:

Halones.

 

Hazardous thermal decomposition and combustion products

Carbon dioxide, Benzoic acid, Benzene, Diphenyl, Phenylbenzoate.

Protective equipment

-          Wear protective clothing and use self- contained breathing apparatus. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes.

 

 

6. Accidental Release Measures

 

 

Personal precautions:

 

Put on adequate protective equipment.

 

Environment precautions:

Collect as much as possible in a clean container for (preferable) reuse or disposal. Do not empty into drains.

 

Cleaning procedures:

Sweep up with dustpan and brush off inert material, flushing the remainder with water.

Absorb the remainder with e.g. vermiculite.

 

7. Handling and Storage

 

 

Handling:

 

Never weight out in the storage room. Keep product away from heat and sources of ignition. No sparking tools should be used. Never bring peroxide into direct contact with accelerator during processing. Weight out and add peroxide and accelerator separately.

 

Storage:

Keep in cool, well-ventilated place. Keep away from reducing agents (e. g. amines), acids, alkalis an heavy metal compounds. Store in accordance with local / national regulations.
