There are no unique chemical or reactivity hazards that would impact firefighting decisions due to the chemicals in this product.

Use firefighting measures that suit the environment.

Handle as a potentially infectious material. Minimize exposure by using appropriate personal protective equipment as listed in Section 8. Stop leak if possible. Keep unprotected persons away.

Blot up small volumes of spilled or spattered product with paper towels or similar materials.

Contain larger spills by placing absorbants around the outside edges of the spill. Absorb with any material suitable for water-based liquids. Note: This product contains sodium azide, which reacts with acid to liberate hydrazoic acid, a very toxic gas. Do not use any chemical or product with a pH below 6 to disinfect waste that contains sodium azide. Do not use any chemical or product that contains mercury or any other metal to disinfect waste that contains sodium azide. Select a disinfectant that does not bubble, effervesce or otherwise generate aerosols. Do not use excess disinfectant.

Prevent liquid and vapor from entering sewage system, storm drains, surface waters, and soil.

Blot up small volumes or absorb larger spills. Clean the affected area with warm water and detergent or similar cleansing agent. Apply a suitable disinfectant.

Materials: paper towels, universal sorbents, sand, diatomite, sawdust, warm water, detergent, suitable disinfectant.

Handle as a potentially infectious material.

Store only in the original container. Refer to the package insert or product label for additional information on storage conditions for product quality.

The product is not flammable.

No decomposition if used and stored according to specifications.

This product contains sodium azide. Sodium azide solutions are reported to: - react with acids to release hydrazoic acid, a very toxic gas. Higher quantities of hydrazoic acid are released as the solution becomes more acidic (i.e., as the pH of the solution gets lower). Low quantities of hydrazoic acid can be released from sodium azide in water. - react with certain metals (copper, lead, silver, brass) to form explosive metal azide compounds. Violent explosions have been reported during plumbing work on drain systems containing accumulations of azide on copper, lead, brass, or solder.
