5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
>200oF/>93.4oC (PMCC)
FLASH POINT (掳F/Test Method):
FLAMMABLE LIMITS (LEL & UEL): None established
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Considered non-combustible, use medium appropriate to surrounding fire. Dry chemical, carbon
dioxide, foam, water spray or fog.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Oxides of nitrogen, acetonitrile, chlorine-containing compounds, hydrogen cyanide, and fluorine-
containing compounds may form in a fire situation. Incomplete combustion may lead to formation of
carbon monoxide and/or other asphyxiants.
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. Containers in fire may burst or explode from excessive heat.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent it from spreading, contaminating soil, or entering sewage and drainage systems or any body of
water. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions outlined in Section 8. Cover entire spill with absorbent material and place into compatible
disposal container. Scrub the spill area with hard water detergent (e.g. commercial products such a Tide庐, Joy庐, Spic and Span庐). Pick up wash liquid
with additional absorbent and place into disposal container. Once all material is cleaned up and placed in a disposal container, seal the container(s) and
handle in an approved manner. Check local, state and federal regulations for proper disposal.
CAUTION: Keep spills and cleaning runoff out of municipal sewers and open bodies of water.
