5.3 Advice for firefighters:
If involved in a fire, combustion may produce toxic and irritating fumes and gases including carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and/or unburned hydrocarbons.
As for any fire, evacuate the area and fight the fire from a safe distance. Firefighters must wear full protective clothing
and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus.

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures

If large volumes of paint are released shut off or extinguish all sources of ignition. Do not breathe vapors. Ventilate the
area.
6.2 Environmental precautions:
Prevent the spilled liquid from entering sewers or waterways.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up:
Stop the spill if it is safe to do so.
Absorb any spilled liquid using dry earth, sand or non-combustible absorbent material and transfer to appropriate covered
and labeled waste containers.
6.4 Additional Information:
See Section 8 for information on selection of personal protective equipment.
See Section 13 for information on disposal of spilled product and contaminated absorbents.
