Stopping the media flow of gas rather than extinguishing the fire is usually the best procedure to follow when escaping gas is burning. If ammonia gas/vapour is burning, use dry chemical powder or carbon dioxide for small fires and fine water spray / fog or dry chemical foam for large fires. These extinguishing agents should also be suitable forthe type of surrounding fire, Unsuitable Avoid using water jet directed inside the ammonia containers / tanks as violent extinguishing media reaction may occur 5.2. Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture Hazards fromthe Contains gas under pressure. Flammable, corrosive and toxic gas. In a fire or if substance of mixture heated, pressure buildup, auto-ignition or subsequent explosion of container may ‘occur. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. This material is very toxic to aquatic life. Fire water contaminated with this material is highly caustic, must be contained (eg. bund wall / absorbent / sandbags) and prevented from being discharged to any waterways, sewers or public drains. Hazards combustion The main products of combustion in air are water and nitrogen, with small amounts, products Of toxic and irritating nitrogen oxides (NOx). The combustion of ammonia in air is very difficult in the absence of a catalyst (such as platinum gauze), as the temperature of the flame is usually lower than the ignition temperature of the ammonia-alr mixture 5.3 Advice for firefighters ‘Special precautions Promptly isolate the scene by removing all non-emergency personnel from the for fire-fighters vicinity of the incident if there is a fire. Contact experts / supplier immediately for specialist advice. Eliminate all ignition sources if safe to do so. Shut off flow immediately if safe to do so. Move ammonia containers (portable tanks / cylinders) from surrounding fie if safe to do so. If the containers cannot be removed, spray cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed to fire until fire is out. This prevents heat from building up, resulting in container rupturing due to overpressure. However, do not get water inside container. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. Stay away from ends of the tanks due to exploding potential when tanks are involved in fire. Fight fire from protected location or maximum possible distance. If this is not possible, withdraw from area and allow fire to burn. Fighting fre with unmanned firefighting equipment Js highly recommended. Use fine water spray or fog to extinguish flames and suppress vapour. Do not direct water into spilled liquid ammonia unless more than 100 volumes of water are available for each volume of liquid ammonia. Addition of fire water will warm cryogenic liquid, resulting in greater gasification/evaporation Special protective _Fire-fighters should wear appropriate chemical protective clothing and self- ‘equipment for fire- contained breathing apparatus (Refer to Section 8) that is safe for use with ammonia fighters involved in a fire. Fire-fighters’ normal protective clothing (bunker gear) with helmets, protective boots and gloves does not provide adequate protection. regenerate «through « solutions Page 6 of 23 Pride-Chem Industries Pe Lid Sefety Data Sheet: Ammonia, Anhydrous fev. 11 re Boe 6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures 6.1.1. For non-emergency personnel Put on appropriate PPE (Refer to Section 8) when handling this product. Accidental release poses a serious fire and explosion hazard. A dangerous concentration of this gas in the air will be reached very quickly on loss of containment in confined space. Shut off main valve or flow if safe to do so. Evacuate danger area immediately and raise alarm. Keep people away from danger area. Do not breathe gas. When ventilation is inadequate, wear appropriate respirator (SCBA, full face respirator, escape set) during evacuation. If respirator Is not available, put wet towel / cloth over nose and mouth during evacuation. No action shall be taken by personnel involving personal risk or without suitable training. Stay upwind and out of low areas. Do not touch or walk through spill material. The released ammonia rapidly absorbs moisture in the air and forms a dense, visible white cloud of ammonium hydroxide. The dense mixture tends to travel along the ground rather than rapidly rising. This behavior may increase the potential for exposure of workers and public. 6.1.2. For emergency responders Put on appropriate PPE (Refer to Section 8) when handling this product. It may be necessary to wear full- body encapsulating chemical protective suit and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). For incidents involving large quantities or direct contact with liquefied ammonia, thermally insulated undergarments and cryogenic gloves (conforming to EN 511) should be worn. Fire-fighters’ normal protective clothing (bunker gear) with helmets, protective boots and gloves will not provide ‘adequate protection in ammonia incidents. If safe to do so, (1) remove casualties to safety, (2) shut off main valve or flow (3) eliminate all ignition sourres. No emaking ar Flam ventilation.

Provide aden 6.2 Environmental precautions This product Is very toxic to aquatic life. Avoid release to the environment (waterway, sewer or drain). In addition, fire water contaminated with this product must also be contained (eg. bund wall / inflatable seals / absorbent / sandbags / drain covers) and prevented from being discharged to any waterways, sewers or open drains. Collect spillage and transfer to appropriate sealable containers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soll or ar). 6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up 6.3.1. For Containment Spill Liquefied ammonia Liquefied ammonia will quickly vapourise when exposed to alr. top leak If you are competent and safe to do so. Shut off main valve or isolate valve upstream of leakage. For ammonia cylinders, emergency cap / containment vessels are other possible means to stop the leaks by competent emergency responders. Other appropriate specialised spill containment kit may also be used to mitigate the types of leak / spill. For small spills - Dike the spilled liquid as quickly as possible to prevent spreading. Use spill berm, absorbent socks, booms, inflatable seals, or sandbags to contain the spill and prevent from discharge to ‘any waterway, sewer or drain. For small spill, however, it’s highly likely that the liquefied ammonia would have completely vapourised before the spill can be contained. AmmoSorb™ Eco Ammonia Odor & Spill Removal Granules can be used to effectively absorb, neutralise and encapsulate ammonia as well as ammonium ions for safe disposal. AmmoSorb™ will rapidly absorb spills, cleanse the air of noxious ammonia odors, complement existing ventilation systems, and create a safer environment. regenerate «through « solutions Page 7 of 23 Pride-Chem Industries Pe Lid Sefety Data Sheet: Ammonia, Anhydrous fev. 11 For large spills - Dike the spilled liquid as quickly as possible to prevent spreading.

Sp sed ammonia pump / vacuum equipment is required to transfer it to appropriate / approved carbon steel / stainless stee! tank. ‘Seill contaminated fire water For small spills - Dike the spilled liquid as quickly as possible to prevent spreading. Use spill berm, absorbent socks, booms, inflatable seals, or sandbags to contain the spill and prevent from discharge to any waterway, sewer or drain. Loose spill control materials (eg. absorbent pads) should be distributed over the entire spill area, working from the outside, circling to the inside to soak up the spilled liquid. Place used absorbent into suitable, covered, labelled containers / plastic bags for disposal. For large spills - Dike the spilled liquid as quickly a> possible to prevent spreading. Use spill berm, absorbent socks, booms, inflatable seals, or sandbags to contain the spill and prevent from discharge to any waterway, sewer or drain. Using suitable chemically-compatible pump or spill recovery vacuum equipment, the contaminated fire water can be transferred to sealable containers for disposal. 6.3.2. Forcleaning up Neutralization It’s not recommended to neutralise liquefied ammonia with acids which will ‘technique ‘generate violent reaction and heat. However, it’s possible to neutralise the fire water (diluted ammonia water). Use a weak acid such as 2% acetic acid, alkali nreutraliser such as SpilLX-C Caustic Neutralising Agent or NEUTRACIT®-2 Caustic Neutralizer (has built-in pH indicator) Decontamination Decontamination is best done by flushing with plenty of water (safety shower ‘technique ‘or decontamination shower for personnel). For small spill, AmmoSore™ Eco ‘Ammonia Odor & Spill Removal Granules can be used to effectively absorb, neutralise and encapsulate ammonia as well as ammontum tons for safe disposal. AmmoSorb™ will rapidly absorb spills, cleanse the air of noxious ammonia odors, complement existing ventilation systems, and create a safer environment. ‘Adsorbent materials Chemically inert polypropylene material, diatomaceous earth and clay in a granular form Cleaning techniques _Decontaminate the surface where the spill occurred using a mild detergent and ‘water, when appropriate ‘Vacuuming techniques Suck spill with appropriate portable vacuum spill recovery equipment so that it ‘can be transferred to approved metal containers (tanks / cylinders) Equipment required Equipment required for containment / cleanup of liquefied ammonia should be for containment/ approved pressure rated and chemically compatible material such carbon clean up steel, stainless steel.

Adequate, well-engineered systems must be provided for storage, transfer and use. To keep ammonia concentrations within acceptable exposure and explosive levels, use appropriate ‘engineering controls: local exhaust ventilation, process enclosure system or general mechanical system. Engineering controls should be maintained to keep ammonia concentrations within acceptable exposure levels, otherwise respiratory protection will be required to reduce inhalation exposure. 8.2.2. Personal Protective Equipment Hygiene Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling product, before eating, measures smoking, using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Never bring food, drink or smoking materials into vicinity of chemicals. Wash contaminated clothing thoroughly before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the location where ammonia is stored and handled. Eye and face Wear chemical-resistant and unvented goggles (conformed to EN 166) and full-face protection shield for basic protection. A full-face air purifying respirator with ammonia filter cartridges will offer full protection of the face. It is recommended that every worker carries a 250ml water-filled plastic squirt bottle in their shirt pocket for the first flushing of the eyes. It should be used immediately and is intended to give victim time to go to safety eye-wash if it’s not nearby. Body/Skin Clothing should be heavy duty and of a tightly woven fabric. Light weight. thin protection fabrics will not slow down or prevent anhydrous ammonia from passing through. ‘The clothing should be tightly closed at the cuffs and collar to restrict the entry of ammonia. Wearing chemical-resistant protective suit (EN 14605) and boots is recommended. However, the resistance of specific material may vary from product to product as well as concentration and degree of exposure. Consult manufacturer's specification for information.

Stability and reactivity Reactivity/ Incompatible materials 10.1. Reactivity ‘Anhydrous ammonia has potentially explosive reactions with strong oxidizers. Anhydrous ammonia forms explosive mixtures in air with hydrocarbons, chlorine, fluorine and silver nitrate. Anhydrous ammonia reacts to form explosive products, mixtures or compounds with mercury, gold, silver, iodine, bromine, silver oxide and silver chloride. 10.2 Chemical stability ‘Stable at normal ambient temperature and pressure, Heating 2 closed cont pressure. Hazardous polymerisation will not occur. 5 caucee increase in vapor 10.3 Possibility of hazardous reactions Ammonia has potentially explosive or violent reactions with strong acids (nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid), strong oxidisers (sodium and calcium hypochlorite, perchlorate, peroxides, chloric acid, chlorine monoxide, chiorites), halogens (chlorine, fluorine, bromine, and iodine), metals (silver, gold, mercury, zinc, cadmium, boron and tin). Explosive products are formed by the reaction of ammonia with silver chloride, silver oxide, silver nitrate, silver azide and tellurium halides. Ammonia is incompatible or has potentially hazardous reactions with nitrogen oxide, nitrogen tetroxide and sulphur. Ammonia catalyzes the polymerisation of acrolein, acetaldehyde and other unsaturates, causing an increase in temperatures and pressure, which may ‘explode containers. Ammonia forms sensitive explosive mixtures with air and hydrocarbons. 10.4 Conditions to avoid ‘Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark, flame and heat). Do not pressurise, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, arin or expose containers to heat or sources of ignition.

Under high temperature, ammonia reacts with air to form oxides of nitrogen and water. Decomposition will ‘occur at lower temperatures in the presence of metals such as iron, nickel and zinc and, to a lesser extent, ‘catalytic surfaces, such as porcelain and pumice. In the presence of catalysts, decomposition begins as low as 300°C and is complete at 500-600°C. At 690°C or in the presence of an electric spark, ammonia decomposes into nitrogen dioxide and flammable hydrogen gases, which may form a flammable mixture in the air.
