5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
This material is flammable and if involved in a fire will decompose with the
possible production of toxic and flammable gases. The residue, ash or char
left after a fire may have catalytic properties and may promote the re-ignition
of flammable liquids or vapours.

kept cool by water spray. Fire fighters should wear protective clothing and
selfcontained breathing apparatus. Use any extinguishing agents appropriate
to the surrounding fire. 聽 聽
