Advice for Firefighters
Precautionary Measures Fire: Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire.
Firefighting Instructions: Remove containers from fire area if this can be done without risk. Use water spray or fog for cooling
exposed containers. Do not get water inside containers. In case of major fire and large quantities: Evacuate area. Fight fire remotely
due to the risk of explosion.
Protection During Firefighting: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection.
Hazardous Combustion Products: Thermal decomposition generates: Carbon oxides (CO, CO
2
). Nitrogen oxides. Acrylates. Methyl
methacrylate. Amines.
Other Information: Contains methyl methacrylate, when heated this product may undergo hazardous polymerization, increasing fire
intensity. Do not allow run-off from firefighting to enter drains or water courses.
Reference to Other Sections
Refer to Section 9 for flammability properties.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures
General Measures: Avoid breathing (vapor, mist, spray). Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep away from heat, hot
surfaces, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources. No smoking. Use special care to avoid static electric charges.
For Non-Emergency Personnel
Protective Equipment: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Stop leak if safe to do so.
For Emergency Personnel
Protective Equipment: Equip cleanup crew with proper protection.
Emergency Procedures: Ventilate area. Eliminate ignition sources. Evacuate unnecessary personnel. Upon arrival at the scene, a first
responder is expected to recognize the presence of dangerous goods, protect oneself and the public, secure the area, and call for
the assistance of trained personnel as soon as conditions permit.
Environmental Precautions
Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Avoid release to the environment.
Methods and Materials for Containment and Cleaning Up
For Containment: Contain any spills with dikes or absorbents to prevent migration and entry into sewers or streams. As an
immediate precautionary measure, isolate spill or leak area in all directions.
Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical powder, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide (CO
2
). Water may be ineffective but
water should be used to keep fire-exposed container cool.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a heavy water stream. A heavy water stream may spread burning liquid.
Fire Hazard: Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
Explosion Hazard: May form flammable or explosive vapor-air mixture. When mixed with air and exposed to an ignition source,
flammable vapors can burn in the open or explode in confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an
ignition source and flash back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard.
Reactivity: Reacts violently with strong oxidizers. Increased risk of fire or explosion. The product is normally supplied in a stabilized
form. If the permissible storage period and/or storage temperature is exceeded, the product may polymerize with heat evolution.
Polymerization with heat evolution may occur in the presence of radical forming substances (e.g. peroxides), reducing substances,
and/or heavy metal ions. Product reacts violently or explosively with alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, various metal powders,
strong alkalis, ammonia, and other incompatible materials.
