Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing media, specific hazards, and firefighter protection
Water spray. Carbon dioxide (CO₂). Dry chemical. Chemical foam.
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and vapors. Keep product and empty container away from heat and sources of ignition.
Firefighter Protection
As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
Accidental Release Measures
Spill cleanup procedures, containment, and environmental protection
Use personal protective equipment as required. Ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Avoid release to the environment.
Soak up with inert absorbent material. Keep in suitable, closed containers for disposal.
Materials: inert absorbent material
