Section 5. Fire-Fighting Measures
Uniform Fire Code: Class IIIA
Flash Point: >61°C (>141°F)
Extinguishing Media
Suitable Media: In case of fire, use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and
the surrounding environment. Use water fog, alcohol resistant foam, dry chemical, carbon

Unsuitable Media: CAUTION: Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.
Specific Hazards Arising from
the Chemical: Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition as product will
burn. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire. In the event of fire, cool tanks with
water spray. Fire residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be contained,
prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain and disposed of in
accordance with local regulations.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Combustion products may include the following: Carbon dioxide (CO2) Carbon
monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen oxides.
Protection of Fire Fighters: Promptly isolate the scene by removing all persons from the vicinity of the incident if
there is a fire. No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable
training. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
For non-emergency personnel: No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training.
Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from
entering. ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in
immediate area). Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Put on appropriate
personal protective equipment. Floors may be slippery; use care to avoid falling.
For emergency responders: If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information
in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. Ensure adequate ventilation. Keep
people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Pay attention to flashback. Take precautionary
measures against static discharges. All equipment used when handling the product must
be grounded. See also the information in "For non- emergency personnel".
Environmental precautions: Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental
pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air). See Section 12 for ecological information.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Small Spills: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Absorb with an inert material and place in
an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.
Large Spills: Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses,
basements or confined areas. Contain and collect spillage with non- combustible, absorbent material
e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to
