FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water, Foam, CO2, Dry Chemical
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Standard procedure for Class A fires
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Some carbon monoxide formation is possible under oxygen-
lean conditions. Matting will not support combustion. Sorbents
will take on the characteristics/properties of whatever liquid is
absorbed. Therefore, all measures must be taken as if you
were handling the liquid itself. Sorbents do not make the liquid
less hazardous. Always refer to the MSDS for the chemical
absorbed before proceeding.
SECTION VI: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
No special steps to be taken if material is spilled or released.
SECTION VII: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Store in dry area. Do not store near open flame, high heat, strong oxidants, or halogenated hydrocarbons.
Polypropylene, when heated, becomes very sticky and will burn. Use self-contained air masks to enter smoky area in
the event of fire. Adequate ventilation is required to remove decomposition products when temperature exceeds
melting point. Avoid contact with melted product.
