=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point Method:CC
Flash Point:=18.C, 64.4F
Autoignition Temp:Autoignition Temp Text:NAP
Lower Limits:2.5% IPA
Upper Limits:12.0% IPA
Extinguishing Media:USE CARBON DIOXIDE, DRY CHEMICAL, OR ALCOHOL FOAM.
    USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE EXPOSED CONTAINERS AND TO PROTECT
    PERSONNEL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:CAUTION! FLAMMABLE LIQUID. RESIDUE FROM SUTURE
    PACKETS COMBINED IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES CAN FORM FLAMMABLE
    MIXTURES AT OR ABOVE 64 DEG F. IF FIRE OCCURS, USE RECOMMENDED
    EXTINGUISHING MEDIA. USE WATE R SPRAY TO COOL SURFACES EXPOSED TO
    FIRE AND TO DISPENSE VAPORS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:VAPORS CAN FLOW ALONG SURFACES TO DISTANT
    IGNITING SOURCE AND FLASH BACK. PERSONNEL FIGHTING FIRE SHOULD WEAR
    FULL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED
    BREATHING APPARATUS WITH FULL F ACE PIECE OPERATED IN THE POSITIVE
    DEMAND MODE.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:EXTREMELY SMALL SPILLS CAN BE ABSORBED ON
    PAPER TOWELS AND EVAPORATED IN A SAFE PLACE (FUME HOOD). LARGER
    SPILLS SHOULD BE CONTAINED AND ABSORBED WITH VERMICULITE, SAND, OR
    OTHER SUITABLE FLOOR ABSORB ENT. CLEANUP PERSONNEL SHOULD WEAR
    PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHICH
    IS ADEQUATE FOR THE VAPOR LEVELS FOUND IN THE SPILL AREA. REMOVE
    IGNITION SOURCES AND VENTILATE.
Neutralizing Agent:NOT PROVIDED.
