Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point

> 110

Fire Fighting

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. Extinguishing media: Water may be ineffective. In case of fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or appropriate foam.

Fire Potential

Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by friction, heat, sparks or flames.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks

Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Absorb spill using an absorbent, non-combustible material such as earth, sand, or vermiculite. Provide ventilation.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities

Oxidizing agents.

Stability

Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.

Decomposition

Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, acrid smoke and fumes.

Combustion Products

Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases.
