Revision Date: 28-Jan-2015
5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical. Water spray (fog). Foam. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local
circumstances and the surrounding environment.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media
Not determined.
Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical
Fire & Explosion Conditions: Flammable. Material will readily ignite @ RT. Vapors may form explosive mixture w/ air. Vapors can
travel long distances to a source of ignition & flash back. Eliminate ignition sources: heat, electrical equipment, sparks, pilot lights,
stoves & flames. Do not smoke or put in contact w/ oxidizing or caustic materials. Containers may explode if exposed to heat.
Hazardous Combustion Products Smoke, fumes. Carbon monoxide & carbon dioxide can form.
Sensitivity to Static Discharge
Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full
protective gear. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergencyprocedures
Personal Precautions
Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.
Other Information
Small Spills: 1 drum or less – Level D Equipment (gloves, chemical resistant apron, boots &
eye protection).
Large Spills: Rubber gloves, rubber boots, face shield & Tyvek suit as a minimum. Minimum
level of PPE for releases in which the oxygen level is < 19.5% or is unknown, should be
Level B: triple gloves (rubber gloves & nitrile gloves over latex gloves), chemical resistant
suit, fire-retardant clothing & boots, hard hat & self-contained breathing apparatus.
For Emergency Responders
Restrict access to spill area.
Environmental Precautions
Minimize use of water to prevent environmental contamination. Prevent spill or rinse from
contaminating storm drains, sewers, soil or groundwater. Do not allow discharge containing
this material to enter streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans or other waters unless in
accordance w/ requirements of National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
permit & permitting authority has been notified in writing prior to discharge. Do not allow
discharge containing this material to enter sewer systems w/o previously notifying local
sewage treatment plant authority. For information, contact State Water Board or EPA
Regional Office
Other: U.S. regulations may require reporting of spills of this material reaching surface
waters if sheen is formed. See Section 12 for additional Ecological Information.
Methods and material for containment and cleaning up
Methods for Containment
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Use absorbent material to contain spill.
Methods for Clean-Up
Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Sweep up absorbed material
and shovel into suitable containers for disposal. Wash area with soap and water. For waste
disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
