6.1 Techniques, procedures, materials, and protective equipment in case of:
– Small spills: Spilled powder may be slippery. It may be transferred manually to a container for its disposal or recovery using gloves.
– Large spills: Sweep and dispose in a residues drum or plastic bag. Wash the slippery area with water. Avoid residues entering the sumps. Uncontrolled discharge in waterways must be notified to the corresponding competent authority.
6.2 Environmental precautions: Avoid filtration on land and in water. In case of large spills
or if the product contaminates lakes, rivers, or seas, inform the competent authorities, according to local legislation.
6.3 Other considerations: Prevent waste from entering surface or subway watercourses

5.1 Flammability properties: Low flammability.
5.2 Extinction media: Fire may be extinguished with sprayed water, foam, chemical powder, or CO2.
5.3 Inappropriate extinction media: Avoid extinction methods that generate dust clouds. Water jets may disperse the powder in the air producing a fire hazard and possible explosion hazard.
5.4 Firefighting instructions: Special protective equipment should be used. In case of staying in the risk area, self-contained breathing apparatus and appropriate protective clothing should be used. The product may decompose if heated at temperatures
above 200 °C (392 °F). Combustion or thermal decomposition may develop toxic, irritant, and flammable vapors.
5.5 Firefighters protection: Evacuate the affected area and attack the fire from a safe distance.
5.6 Protective equipment and protection for firefighters: Self-contained breathing apparatus and encapsulated suit should be used.
