Fire and Explosion Hazard Information
=======================================================
Extinguishing Media: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT FLAMMABLE. WATER SPRAY, FOAM, CARBON
DIOXIDE OR DRY CHEMICALS MAY BE USED WHERE PRODUCT IS STORED.
Fire Fighting Procedures: USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
(FP N). AVOID DIRECT CONTACT OF THIS PRODUCT WITH WATER AS THIS CAN CAUSE
VIOLENT EXOTHERMIC REACTION.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: NON-FLAMMABLE BUT SOLID FORM IN CONTACT WITH
MOISTURE OR WATER MAY GENERATE SUFFICIENT HEAT TO IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE

Control Measures
=======================================================
Respiratory Protection: RESPS MAY BE USED WHEN ENGINEERING & WORK PRACTICE
CTLS ARE NOT TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE, WHEN SUCH CTLS ARE IN PROCESS OF BEING
INSTALLED OR WHEN THEY FAIL & NEED TO BE SUPPLEMENTED. IF USE OF RESPS IS
N EC, ONLY NIOSH APPRVD RESPS PERMITTED.
Ventilation: SPEC VENT IS NOT USUALLY REQD FOR CAUSTIC SODA. AVOID CREATION OF
DUST, MIST OR SPRAY. IF PRESENT WEAR APPROP
Protective Gloves: IMPERVIOUS GLOVES.
Eye Protection: ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGS
Other Protective Equipment: ANSI APPRVD EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER(FP N).
IMPERVIOUS CLTHG TO PVNT SKIN CNTCT. (NATRL/BUTYL RUB, NEOPRENE, VINYL).
Work Hygienic Practices: AVOID CNTCT W/SKIN & BRTHG DUST/MIST. DO NOT EAT,
DRINK/SMOKE IN WORK AREA. WASH HANDS BEFORE EAT/DRINK/USING RESTROOM.
Supplemental Safety and Health: MATL TO AVOID: CNTCT W/METALS SUCH AS ALUMINUM,
TIN, ZINC & ALLOYS CONTAINING THESE METALS. CNTCT W/NITROMETHANE &
OTHER SIMILAR NITRO CMPDS CAUSES FORM OF SHOCK-SENSITIVE SALTS. EFTS OF
