                             SECTION V � Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point: not determined

Explosion Limits: not applicable

       LEL: not applicable

       UEL: not applicable

Extinguishing media: Carbon dioxide or foam preferred.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Positive pressure or demand-type respirators, face shields or

goggles, balaclavas, coats, gloves and boots are indicated. No skin should be exposed.

Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Material may produce thick sooty smoke while burning.

 Material may soften and drip or flow slowly in extreme heat, although it will not become a free-

flowing liquid. Material may develop a thick ashy crust under certain conditions, which could

hinder extinguishing media from reaching seat of fire if crust is not broken away.
