Alcohol-resistant foam, spray water/mist,
CO2 or powder
DO NOT use water jets. Cool closed containers exposed to the
fire with spray water.
RISK OF FIRE AND
EXPLOSION
As the product contains combustible organic constituents, a
thick, black smoke develops in the event of fire that contains
dangerous combustion products. Decomposition products can
constitute a danger to health. Extinguishing waste water must
not enter the waste water channels or waters.
If necessary suitable, independent breathing apparatus is
required.
3.4 Measures in the event of accidental release (spillage)
Spilled ink and solvent should be removed immediately. Used
wiping material could pose a potential fire hazard and have to be
disposed in accordance with the regulations.
Switch off sources of ignition and ventilate room. Keep personnel
that is not absolutely necessary away. Do not inhale any vapour.
Observe the protective measures listed.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
MEASURES
DO NOT allow to enter waste water channels or waters.
Should the product enter waste water channels or the drainage
system the local water supply authority must be informed
immediately. In the event of contamination of streams, rivers or
lakes inform the national water authorities. Vapour is heavier than
air and can spread out on the ground. In combination with air it can
form an explosive mixture.
Restrict and suck up spilled substances with a non-combustible
absorbent material (e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite, infusorial earth)
and collect in a suitable container for removal. Preferably clean
areas with spilled substances with a detergent. Avoid solvents.
