Extinguishing Media-Chemical Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus, and full protective
gear. Use water spray to cool containers. Evacuate personnel to a safe area.
Explosion Hazard- Fight fire from protected location
Unusual fire and explosion hazards-This material is combustible. Vapor forms explosive
mixture with air. Heating can release vapors, which can be ignited.
Section V Reactivity Data
Stability-Stable Conditions to Avoid-Heat and source of ignition. Product is highly aciic
Incompatibility (material to avoid) - Mild steels or alkalizes. Reducing and oxidizing agents.
Hazardous decomposition of By Products ?Oxides of carbon when burned
Hazardous Polymerization May Occur 瑿onditions leading to polymerization are sunlight,
oxygen-free atmosphere, excessive heat, storage in absence of inhibitor, inadvertent addition of
catalyst. Avoid freezing that may result in uneven distribution of inhibitor.

Health Hazards (acute & chronic) - If inhaled, ingested or skin absorption is harmful.
Prolonged contact may cause sensitization. Vapor & mist are irritating to mucous & eyes. May
cause headache and nausea.
First Aid: Inhalation: Move to fresh air. Get medical attention if discomfort persists.
