PREVENTION |
FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING |
FIRE |
Highly flammable or combustible depending on physical form.
|
NO open flames, NO sparks, and NO smoking.
|
Powder, water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.
|
EXPLOSION |
Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.
|
Prevent deposition of dust; closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.
Prevent build-up of electrostatic charges (e.g., by grounding).
|
In case of fire: keep drums, etc., cool by spraying with water.
