5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
FLASH POINT: >450ºF (>232ºC)
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: Not Established
FLAMMABLE LIMITS (in air by volume, %): Lower NA Upper NA
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS: Use fire extinguishing materials
appropriate for surrounding fire including water spray (for cooling), dry
extinguishing media, carbon dioxide, foam. A solid stream of water may
scatter molten product.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: This product has no unusual
fire or explosion hazards. Do not use water on molten adhesive to avoid

SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Incipient fire responders should
wear eye protection. Structural firefighters must wear Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus and full protective equipment. Isolate materials not yet
involved in the fire and protect personnel. Move containers from fire area if this
can be done without risk; otherwise, cool with carefully applied water spray. If possible, prevent runoff water from entering
storm drains, bodies of water, or other environmentally sensitive areas.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
