Section 5 - Firefighting Measures
5.1 Extinguishing media
Suitable Extinguishing
Media
Carbon Dioxide (CO2), dry chemical, or Water.
Unsuitable
Extinguishing Media
No data available
5.2 Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Unusual Fire and
Explosion Hazards
PVC homopolymer resins are self-extinguishing plastic materials and will not continue to
burn without an external ignition source. They will burn in the presence of other materials
which support combustion.
Avoid generating dust; fine dust dispersed in air in sufficient concentrations, and in the
presence of an ignition source is a potential dust explosion hazard.
Hazardous
Combustion Products
Hydrogen chloride, benzene, water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and smoke.
5.3 Advice for firefighters
Wear positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Structural firefighters' protective clothing will only provide limited protection.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
6.1 Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Personal Precautions
Do not walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing dust. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, avoid direct contact.
Emergency Procedures
Contain spill and monitor for excessive dust accumulation. Avoid unnecessary personnel
and equipment traffic in the spill area. Ventilate closed spaces before entering.
6.2 Environmental precautions
No special environmental precautions necessary.
6.3 Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Containment/Clean-up
Measures
Avoid generating dust.
Use clean nonsparking tools to collect material.
Dust Deposits should not be allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an
explosive mixture if they are released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration.
