SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Extinguishing media
Extinguishing media:
Extinguish with dry sand and/or flood with large amounts of water.
Extinguishing media which are not suitable: Hand water buckets or hand storage
pumps. Molten metal contact with water can cause small pockets of superheated
steam.
Use fire-extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding materials.
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards:
During fire, health hazardous gases may be formed.
Ignition temperature: >1750°F
In the event that the packaging materials are ignited, the immediate and direct
application of large quantities of water will effectively eliminate the spread of fire
to the surrounding areas. The ignition of the packaging materials may, in rare
cases, lead to ignition. Direct application of a continuous heavy stream of water is
recommended.
Ignition of large quantities of exothermic materials may result in large volumes of
dense smoke.
Advice for firefighters
Protective equipment for fire-
fighters:
Selection of respiratory protection for fire fighting: follow the general fire
precautions indicated in the workplace.
