:

4.3 Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed Provide general supportive measures and treat symptomatically. :

SECTION 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

5.1 Extinguishing media

SAFETY DATA SHEET This safety data sheet complies with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as amended.

Explosive! Fire or projection hazard Cartridges may ignite and explode if heated to 120°C (248°F) independent of air. Cartridges may ignite and explode if the primer is struck. Burning produces obnoxious and toxic fumes. In the event of fire the following can be released: Carbon oxides; Sulphur oxides; Nitrogen oxides (NOx); Metal oxides; Aldehydes; Other unidentified organic compounds.

: 5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture

5.3 Advice for firefighters Protective equipment for fire-fighters

: Firefighters should wear an approved full-face, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) and impervious clothing. Unconfined ignited cartridges can produce low velocity metallic fragments which may cause eye injury or superficial skin wounds if unprotected by standard firefighter turnout gear.

: Special fire-fighting procedures

In case of fire: Evacuate area. DO NOT fight fire when fire reaches explosives. Do not enter fire area without proper protection. Shield personnel from exploding cartridges. Move containers from fire area if safe to do so. Water spray may be useful in cooling equipment exposed to heat and flame. Cargo fires: Packages bearing the 1.4S label or packages containing material classified as 1.4S are designed or packaged in such manner that when involved in a fire, may burn vigorously with localized detonations and projection of fragments. Effects are usually confined to immediate vicinity of packages. If fire threatens cargo area containing packages bearing the 1.4S label or packages containing material classified as 1.4S, consider isolating at least 15 meters (50 feet) in all directions. Fight fire with normal precautions from a reasonable distance. Tire or vehicle fires: Use plenty of water - FLOOD it! If water is not available, use CO2, dry chemical or dirt. If possible, and WITHOUT RISK, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles from maximum distance to prevent fire from spreading to cargo area. Pay special attention to the tire fires as re-ignition may occur. Stand by with extinguisher ready. Evacuation: Large spill: Consider initial evacuation for 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions.

Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Do not clean up or dispose of, except under supervision of a specialist. All persons dealing with the clean-up should wear the appropriate chemically protective equipment.

6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

SAFETY DATA SHEET This safety data sheet complies with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, as amended.

For solid, intact cartridges: Handle spills carefully. Do not subject cartridges to mechanical shock. Ventilate the area. Remove all sources of ignition. Pick up and transfer to properly labeled containers. If spill occurs in an area where there is a fire burning: Large spill: Consider initial evacuation for 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions. Refer to Section 5 for firefighting instructions. If loose powder is present: All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Do not operate radio transmitters within 100 meters (330 feet) of electric detonators. Pick up and arrange disposal without creating dust. Contact the proper local authorities.

: 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up

6.4 Reference to other sections : Refer to protective measures listed in sections 7 and 8. Refer to Section 13 for disposal of

material.

Keep away from heat, hot surfaces, sparks, open flames and other ignition sources - No smoking. Ground all equipment during handling. Do not subject to excessive friction or mechanical shock. Use in a well-ventilated area. Wear suitable protective equipment during handling. For personal protection see section 8. Do not breathe fumes or dusts. Do not store near acids. Do not store near any incompatible materials (see Section 10). While explosives are being handled or used, smoking shall not be permitted and no one near the explosives shall possess matches, open light or other fire or flame. No person shall be allowed to handle explosives while under the influence of intoxicating substances or alcohol.

8.2 Exposure controls

Ventilation and engineering measures : Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Apply technical measures to

comply with the occupational exposure limits. In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Respiratory protection : Not required under normal conditions of handling. In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the maximum expected contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-contained breathing apparatus must be used. Advice should be sought from respiratory protection specialists. Not required under normal conditions of handling. For prolonged or repeated contact use protective gloves. The suitability for a specific workplace should be discussed with the producers of the protective gloves. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/689/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

: Skin protection

Safety glasses with side shields should be used with this product. A full face shield may also be necessary. See also EN 166.

: Eye / face protection

Other protective equipment : If noise levels exceed local, regional, or national limits use appropriate hearing protection.

Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

General hygiene considerations : Do not breathe fumes or dusts. Do not ingest. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do

not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
