4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact In case of contact with substance, immediately flush skin or eyes with running water for at
least 20 minutes. Call a physician immediately.
Skin Contact Wash off immediately with soap and plenty of water removing all contaminated clothes and

5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammable Properties Containers may explode when heated. May explode from heat or
contamination. Some will react explosively with hydrocarbons
(fuels).
Flash Point Not applicable
Suitable Extinguishing Media Use water. Do not use dry chemicals or foams. CO2 or Halon may
provide limited control. Flood fire area with water from a distance.
Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Cool
containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.
Explosion Data
Sensitivity to mechanical impact Not sensitive
Sensitivity to static discharge Not sensitive
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire. Some may decompose explosively when heated or involved in a fire.
May ignite combustibles (wood paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Runoff may create fire or explosion hazard.
Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters
Do not move cargo or vehicle if cargo has been exposed to heat. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or
monitor nozzles. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor; if this is
impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.
