5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media Dry chemical. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Water spray. Alcohol-resistant foam.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media CAUTION: All these products have a very low flash point.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash
Chemical back. Most vapors are heavier than air. Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.
Those substances designated with a "P" may polymerize explosively when heated or involved
in a fire. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Protective Equipment and Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Precautions for Firefighters
Personal Precautions ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). All
equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Do not touch or walk through
spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk.
Other Information Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
Environmental precautions
Environmental Precautions Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. Beware of vapors
accumulating to form explosive concentrations.
Methods for Containment A vapor suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand
or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.
Methods for Cleaning Up Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later
disposal.
Other Information Water spray may reduce vapor; but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces
