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. Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient. Do not use dry
chemical extinguishers to control fires involving nitromethane or nitroethane. Do not use straight streams.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than
air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard
indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Carbon oxides.
Explosion Data
Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact
No.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge
Yes.
Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
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
Refer to protective measures listed in Sections 7 and 8.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
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.
