Page 2 / 11
2107-215HA - Peters Professional Pot Plant Special 16-11-32+TE
Revision date 26-Jun-2025
- Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water. Do not use dry chemicals or foams. $\text{CO}_2$ or Halon may provide limited control. Flood fire area with water from a distance. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
- Large Fire: CAUTION: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
- Unsuitable extinguishing media: Dry chemical. Foam.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
- Specific hazards arising from the chemical: These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire. May ignite combustibles (wood paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard.
Special Protective Actions for Fire-fighters
- Special protective equipment and precautions for fire-fighters: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and full firefighting turnout gear. Use personal protection equipment. Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. Oxidizer. May ignite combustibles (wood paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible withdraw from area and let fire burn.
- Hazchem code: 1Y
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures
- Personal precautions: Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate protective clothing. See section 8 for more information. Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
- Other information: Keep combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc) away from spilled material. DO NOT GET WATER INSIDE CONTAINERS. Ventilate the area.
- For emergency responders: Use personal protection recommended in Section 8.
Environmental Precautions
- Environmental precautions: Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer system. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Prevent product from entering drains.
Methods and Material for Containment and Cleaning Up
- Methods for containment: Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Cover with DRY earth, DRY sand or other non-combustible material followed with plastic sheet to minimize spreading or contact with rain.
- Methods for cleaning up: With clean shovel place material into clean, dry container and cover loosely; move containers from spill area. Flush area with flooding quantities of water. Prevent product from entering drains. Cover powder spill with plastic sheet or tarp to minimize spreading and keep powder dry.
