5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: >200 掳F
Autoignition Point: N/AV 掳F
Extinguishing Media
In case of fire, use water spray (fog) foam, dry chemical, or CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
In the event of a fire, firefighters should wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Avoid release to the environment. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Shovel or sweep up material
into suitable containers, taking care to minimize dust. Dampen if necessary to control dust. Vacuum clean dust with
equipment fitted with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters.
