First Aid
person.
Procedures:
Inhalation: If inhaled, supply fresh air or oxygen. Seek medical attention immediately. If not breathing,

Section 5. Fire and Explosion Hazard Data
Flash Point (Method Used): Closed Cup Flammable Limits: LEL 鈥? 1.3% (Enhanced K-Blue)
UEL 鈥? 9.5% (Enhanced K-Blue)
93掳C (Enhanced K-Blue)
Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Water may be ineffective.
Protective Equipment: Above flash point, vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limits noted above. Moderate
explosion hazard and dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, sparks, or flames. Sensitive to static discharge.
Firefighters should wear protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus.
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.
