If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial respiration. Call 911 for emergency medical service.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Fire Hazards
See Section 9 - PHYSICAL & CHEMICAL PROPERTIES for Flammability Properties.
Combustible liquid. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground to some distant source of ignition
and flash back. Closed containers exposed to heat and fire may build pressure and explode.
Hazardous Combustion Products
See Section 10 - STABILITY and REACTIVITY for hazardous combustion and thermal decomposition information.
Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide.
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
Firefighters should wear full protective clothing, including helmet, self-contained positive pressure or pressure
demand breathing apparatus and face mask. Use water to cool fire-exposed containers and to protect personnel.
NFPA Ratings: Health: 1 Flammability: 2 Reactivity: 0
Hazard Scale: 0 = Minimal 1 = Slight 2 = Moderate 3 = Serious 4 = Severe
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Evacuation Procedures
Evacuate the area promptly. Isolate the spill area to prevent untrained people from entering. Remove or disable
all sources of ignition. Ventilate the contaminated area. In case of large spills, follow all facility emergency
response procedures.
Containment Procedures
Contain the discharged material. Dike the spilled material, where this is possible. Do not allow the spilled product
to enter public drainage system or open water courses. Cover with inert absorbent such as dry clay, sand,
diatomaceous earth or commercial sorbents.
For a large spill or spills in confined spaces, provide mechanical ventilation to disperse or exhaust vapors.
