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.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Vapors can 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.
