Combustion will produce compounds of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and chlorine including carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride. The exact composition of the products of combustion will depend on the conditions of combustion. This product will not support combustion until all water is boiled off. Other Fire and Explosion Hazards: None Extinguishing Media: Water, foam, CO2, dry chemical Fire Fighting Equipment. Full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and NIOSH/MSHA approved SCBA should be used for all indoor and any significant outdoor fires. For small outdoor fires which may easily be extinguished with a portable dire extinguisher, use of a SCBA may not be required. Fire Fighting Instructions: Water run off can cause environmental damage. Dike and collect water used to fight fires. Section VI – Accidental Release Measures Use absorbent, vacuum or sweep material and place in a disposal container. Section VII – Handling and Storage Shelf Life: Use within 1 year. Special Sensitivity: None Section VIII - Personal Protection Information Engineering Controls: Provide ventilation and particulate control to maintain airborne levels below the exposure guidelines. Eye Protection: Use safety glasses. If there is a potential for exposure to particulates which would cause mechanical injury to the eye, wear chemical goggles. Respiratory Protection: For most conditions no respiratory protection should be needed; however, in confined or poorly ventilated areas of emergency and other conditions where the exposure guidelines may be greatly exceeded, use an approved positive pressure selfcontained breathing apparatus. Skin Protection: As a general precaution use gloves. No additional precautions other than clean body covering clothing should be needed. Economy Polymers & Chemicals P.O.
