SECTION 5 – FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing Media:
Suitable: Small fires use CO2, powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with
water spray or alcohol resistant foam. Unsuitable: None known.
Conditions of
F
lammability:
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. Will release gases that form flammable mixtures at
r
oom temperature. Liquefied petroleum gas is heavier than air and may travel
a
long the ground or be moved by ventilation to sources of ignition far removed from
the source of liquefied petroleum gas.
Hazardous Combustion
P
roducts:
Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke and irritating vapors may be formed on
c
ombustion.
Special Firefighting
Procedures:
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing to prevent
inhalation and contact with skin and eyes.
SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal Precautions:
Extremely flammable. Ventilate area. Avoid using sources of ignition in release
area. Wear protective equipment. Keep unprotected persons away.
Methods for Containment
and Cleaning Up:
Prevent material from entering confined spaces. Stop or reduce leak if you can
do so without risk. Isolate area until gas has dispersed.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling
Precautions for Safety
Handling:
Extremely flammable. Avoid inhalation and contact with eyes and skin. Wash
thoroughly after handling this product if in contact with skin.
Storage
Store in cool, dry and well-ventilated area. Protect from sunlight. Store away from
incompatible and reactive materials (See Section 10). Store away from heat and
sources of ignition.
