into a clean bed sheet – do not take off clothes! If the clothes start burning, do not run (fire
becomes more intense), extinguish with water, put out flames with a blanket – coat, rolling on
the ground. If someone appears to be in the middle of fire, lie down immediately. Flames that
reach a face may cause life‐threatening burns of the respiratory system.
1.4.6. ADBLUE® STORAGE
AdBlue® fluid crystallizes at low temperatures and at higher temperatures (above +50 °C) it can
produce biuret and ammonia. AdBlue® should always be stored away from sources of heat and
fire in tanks suitable for this liquid and in locations that are sufficiently separated from such
sources, approved, and labelled.
Store separately from incompatible materials and avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents,
acids, alkalis, nitrates, sodium hypochlorite and calcium hypochlorite that may react with AdBlue®
to form potentially explosive mixtures. Do not store the medium for a long time – for more than
six months.
Ensure that the storage tank is securely closed, protected against physical damage, and regularly
checked for leakage. If any other manufacturer's tank for AdBlue® liquid is located at the fuel
station, resolve any questions with this manufacturer in terms of filling, emptying, cleaning,
handling, and storage of the tank.
1.4.7. ADBLUE® SPILL
Although AdBlue® is not classified as hazardous, after spilling it forms crystals and causes deformation.
After a long time, it causes a slippery surface. Each AdBlue® spill must be immediately reported to a fuel
station manager.
Avoid inhalation of vapours and contact with the skin and eyes by using protective equipment.
AdBlue® spill at a fuel station:
Cover the spilled media with plenty of sand, soil or other inert absorbent material.
In case of spillage of large quantities, avoid spreading with sand or soil and avoid leakage into
sewerage and water bodies.
NOTE
Do not discharge AdBlue® into surface water or water pipes!
Once the surface has dried, move the material to a suitable container for controlled disposal.
If AdBlue® runs into the sewerage piping, pour a plenty of water into it.
Observe local legal regulations for waste handling.
AdBlue® in a dispenser/vehicle:
AdBlue® spilled on a dispenser or vehicle must be removed using a soft cloth.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock! Never use a hose or high‐pressure spray near the AdBlue® dispenser.
