5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
O O
FLASH POINT (掳F/Test Method): >212 F / >100 C (TCC)
FLAMMABLE LIMITS (LFL & UFL): Not established
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog, alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or halogenated agents.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with full protective clothing. Fight fire from upwind and keep
all non-essential personnel out of area.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: If water is used to fight fire and cool the containers, contain run-off by diking to prevent
contamination of water supplies. If heated above the flash point, heavy vapors can flow along
surfaces to distant ignition sources and flash back.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
For small spills, absorb with an absorbent material such as sand, vermiculite or other absorbent material. Place contaminated material in appropriate
containers for proper disposal. For large spills: dike large spills using absorbent or impervious material such as clay or sand. Recover and contain as
much free liquid as possible for reuse. Allow absorbed material to solidify, and scrape up for disposal. After removal, scrub the area with detergent and
water and flush contaminated area thoroughly with water.
CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.
