SECTION 5 - FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT Not applicable
FLAMMABLE LIMITS Not applicable
AUTOIGNITION POINT Not applicable
FIRE EXTINGUISHER MEDIA Water from a safe distance - preferably with a fog nozzle. In case of very small fires,
other means such as carbon dioxide, foam or dry chemical extinguishers may be
effective.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING Fireman should be equipped with full protective clothing and SCBA's. In case of fire
PROCEDURES near storage area, cool the containers with water spray.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION Part of the oxygen for combustion is supplied by the peroxide itself. Fire hazard
HAZARDS increases when material becomes dry.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN EVENT Spilled material not immediately cleaned up may increase the fire hazard due to
OF SPILL OR RELEASE evaporation of water away from the benzoyl peroxide. Transfer material into a clean
DOT approved container for proper disposal. Spilled material not immediately
cleaned up should be wetted with water prior to transfer into disposal container. Dike
to prevent runoff from entering drains, sewers, streams, etc. Wear necessary PPE
as indicated by Section 8. Be sure to following all instructions in Section 7 when
