Description of first aid measures
General adviceMost important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing mediaSpecial hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Sulfur oxides
Container explosion may occur under fire conditions. Not combustible.
Has a fire-promoting effect due to release of oxygen.
Ambient fire may liberate hazardous vapours.
Advice for firefighters
Stay in danger area only with self-contained breathing apparatus. Prevent skin contact by keeping a safe distance or by wearing suitable protective clothing.
Further information
May intensify fire; oxidizer.Suppress (knock down) gases/vapors/mists with a water spray jet. Prevent fire extinguishing water from contaminating surface water or the ground water system.
NFPA 704
| HEALTH | 2 | Intense or continued but not chronic exposure could cause temporary incapacitation or possible residual injury (e.g. diethyl ether, ammonium phosphate, iodine) | |
| FIRE | 1 | Materials that require considerable preheating, under all ambient temperature conditions, before ignition and combustion can occur. Includes some finely divided suspended solids that do not require heating before ignition can occur. Flash point at or above 93.3 °C (200 °F). (e.g. mineral oil, ammonia) | |
| REACT | 2 | Undergoes violent chemical change at elevated temperatures and pressures, reacts violently with water, or may form explosive mixtures with water (e.g. white phosphorus, potassium, sodium) | |
| SPEC. HAZ. | OX |
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Advice for non-emergency personnel: Avoid inhalation of dusts. Avoid substance contact. Ensure adequate ventilation. Evacuate the danger area, observe emergency procedures, consult an expert.
For personal protection see section 8.
