|2 COMPOSITION/INFORMATION ON INGREDIENTS |

Pyrogen fire extinguishing aerosol generator is a non-pressurized metal canister containing a solid aerosol-generating compound. Upon activation of the canister the aerosol-generating compound undergoes a chemical reaction to produce an aerosol, which is the actual extinguishing medium. Therefore, the Safety Data below refers to two compounds:

- aerosol-generating compound [contained inside Pyrogen fire extinguishing aerosol generator];

- aerosol [formed and released only upon activation of Pyrogen fire extinguishing aerosol generator]

|AEROSOL-GENERATING COMPOUND |AEROSOL |

| |(data refers to a maximum design application density of 100g/m3, which is 100 g |

| |of aerosol-generating compound combusted in a 1m3 sealed enclosure) |

| |aerosol is insufficient under given conditions and | |

| |fire gets out of control, use water fog or spray, | |

| |carbon dioxide, dry powder or foam. Wear respirator | |

| |and fire protective clothing. Withdraw all personnel | |

| |from the area and warn against entry. | |

| |spills with sand or other non-combustible material for| |

| |later disposal, then, if practicable, hose the area | |

| |with water. Disposal is in accordance with the | |

| |National Regulations for flammable materials. | |

|7 HANDLING AND STORAGE |

Keep generators in ventilated stores at normal ambient temperatures away from heaters and direct sunlight. If kept in quantities exceeding 1,000 kg shall be stored in a depot constructed of a non-combustible material.
