SECTION 5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable extinguishing media
:
Water only.
Specific hazards during firefighting
:
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by
thermal decomposition or combustion.
Closed containers may explode (due to the build up of steam pres-
sure) when exposed to extreme heat.
Further information
:
Use water to cool containers exposed to fire. On small fires, use
water spray or fog. On large fires, use heavy deluge or fog
streams. Flooding amounts of water may be required before ex-
tinguishment can be accomplished.
Do not use dry extinguishers containing ammonium compounds.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective
equipment and emergency proce-
dures

Response to a large quantity spill (100 pounds or greater) or when
dusting or decomposition gas exposure could occur requires the
use of a positive pressure full face supplied air repirator or self
contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), chemical resistant gloves,
coveralls and boots. In case of fire, this personal protective
equipment should be used in addition to normal fire fighter equip-
ment.
Compatible materials for response to this material are: neoprene.
Protection concerns must also address the following: If this materi-
al becomes damp/wet or contaminated in a container, the for-
mation of nitrogen trichloride gas may occur and an explosive con-
dition may exist.
