5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or foam.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: If tanks, drums or containers of this material are heated, they may
rupture and project corrosive liquids over a wide area.
HAZARDS FROM COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: Under fire conditions, toxic and corrosive fumes are emitted. On
combustion or on thermal decomposition (pyrolysis), there will be a release of oxides of carbon and oxides of nitrogen.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FIRE FIGHTERS AND SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) required for fire -fighting personnel. If possible to do so safely, shut off fuel to fire. Use
water spray to spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect personnel.
Hazchem Code: 3[Y] [Aust]
Flammability:
This material is a FLAMMABLE liquid.
Flash Point: 26掳C
Flammability Limits (vol / vol %): Lower: 1.0 Upper: 7.0
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Emergency Procedures:
Flammable liquid. Avoid all sources of ignition. Keep unnecessary people away; Isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Ventilate area. Wear suitable protective equipment as outlined under personal protection in this MSDS.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Clean Up Procedures:
Throw vermiculite or diatomaceous earth onto spill. DO NOT use sawdust. Use non-sparking tools or HEPA vacuum
system to pick up. Place into labelled drum(s) for later disposal.
