Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may cause fire. Reacts violently with water.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use alcohol foams. Do NOT use halogenated agents. DO NOT USE WATER! Contact professional fire-fighters immediately. In case of fire, use carbon dioxide or dry chemical.

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Remove all sources of ignition. Provide ventilation. Do not get water inside containers. Do not use combustible materials such as paper towels to clean up spill. Cover with dry earth, dry sand, or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet to minimize spreading and contact with water. This material is water-reactive. If you use water, use only flooding quantities to decompose spills to form nonreactive mixtures and protect personnel.

Section 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Do not allow water to get into the container because of violent reaction. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not breathe dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact with clothing and other combustible materials. Discard contaminated shoes. Use only with adequate ventilation. Inform laundry personnel of contaminants hazards.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Keep container closed when not in use. Keep under a nitrogen blanket. Keep away from flammable liquids. Keep away from acids. Keep away from reducing agents. Store protected from moisture. Separate from organic materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Separate from combustible materials, halogens, sulfides, metals. See also NFPA 430, Code for the Storage of Liquid and Solid Oxidizers.
