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. To extinguish fire use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks

Wash area with soap and water. Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Provide ventilation. Cover with material such as dry soda ash or calcium carbonate and place into a closed container for disposal.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability

Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.

Incompatibilities

Strong oxidizing agents - strong acids.

Decomposition

Nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide.
