Specific hazards arising
from the chemical
Extremely flammable liquid and vapor. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will
occur and the container may burst, with the risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/
gas is heavier than air and will spread along the ground. Vapors may accumulate in
low or confined areas or travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash
back. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. This material may cause
long lasting harmful effects to aquatic life. Fire water contaminated with this material
must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or
drain.
Use dry chemical, CO
