ACUTE HAZARDS | PREVENTION | FIRE FIGHTING | |
---|---|---|---|
FIRE & EXPLOSION | Highly flammable. Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air. Risk of fire and explosion when dissolving in organic solvents. Explosive. | NO open flames, NO sparks and NO smoking. Do NOT expose to friction or shock. Closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting. Prevent deposition of dust. Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding). | Use water in large amounts, water spray. In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water. |
