Section IV 鈥? Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point (Method Used): Not applicable Flammable Limits: LEL (Lower Explosive Limit) - N/A
UEL (Upper Explosive Limit) - N/A
Extinguishing Media: Use sand, carbon dioxide or powdered extinguishing agent. Never use water.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Fight larger fires with alcohol resistant foam. Firefighters should wear protective
equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. As with most organic
solids, fire is possible at elevated temperatures or by contact with an ignition source.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: During heating or in case of fire, poisonous gases are produced. Fine dust
dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.

Stability:
Stable X
Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): Incompatible materials include acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, bases, and
stronger oxidizers.
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: Chlorine (Cl), Carbon monoxide (CO), Carbon dioxide (CO2), Sulfur oxides,
Iron oxides, and Nitrogen oxides (NOx).
May Occur Conditions to Avoid: Incompatible materials, moisture, and decomposes by
Hazardous
alkalis.
