3

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting

Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with combustible materials may cause a fire. Extinguishing media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use water only! Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. DO NOT use dry chemicals, carbon dioxide, Halon or foams.

Fire Potential

These substances will accelerate burning when involved in a fire.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks

Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

Stability and Reactivity

Incompatibilities

Organic materials - reducing agents - acids - finely powdered metals - magnesium - ammonium perchlorate - finely divided aluminium or magnesium hydrides.

Stability

Stable under normal shipping and handling conditions.

Decomposition

Hydrogen iodide, sodium oxide, iodine.
