General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. Use water with caution and in flooding amounts. Contact with moisture or water may generate sufficient heat to ignite nearby combustible materials. Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Extinguishing Media: Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. Do not get water inside containers. Flammability: Nonflammable. Flash Point: Not applicable. Autoignition Temperature: Not applicable. Flammable Limits: Not available. NFPA Rating: Health: 3; Flammability: 0; Instability: 1.
