5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing equipment
Not combustible, however, if material is involved in a fire use: Fine water spray, normal foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder).
HAZCHEM
Not combustible, however following evaporation of the water component of the material, the residual material can burn if ignited. On burning will emit toxic fumes, including those of oxides of carbon.
Special protective equipment and precautions for fire fighters
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:
Wear appropriate skin, eye and respiratory protection. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact and breathing dust or powder. Use in a well-ventilated area. Do not eat, drink or
smoke while cleaning up. Ensure adequate ventilation.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up:
Wear appropriate personal protective gear. Collect spilled material for silver recovery by vacuuming or sweeping without raising dust. Rinse spill area with water. Do not allow this material or its rinsing's to
enter storm or sanitary sewers or other waterways (see also Section 13).

Environmental precautions
Prevent spills and rinsing's from entering storm or sanitary sewers or other waterways and contact with soil.
Methods and materials for containment and clean up
Large spills - Prevent spillage from entering drains or water courses. Stop leak if safe to do so and contain spill. Absorb using sand, vermiculite or other suitable absorbent material.
If spill is too large or if absorbent is not available create a dam to stop the material spreading. Collect product and place into clearly labelled containers for disposal in accordance with local regulations. After spills wash the area preventing run off from entering drains. If a significant quantity enters drains, advise emergency services.
Small spills - Do not normally need any special clean up measures. Never return spills to original container for re-use. Launder contaminated clothing before storage or reuse.
