5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point >148° C (300° F)
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:
Use water spray to cool containers exposed to fire. Use agent most appropriate to
extinguish fire usually dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. During a fire,
irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or
combustion. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Vapors may be
heavier than air and may spread along the ground and collect in low or confined
areas.
