Carbon dioxide,Dry chemical,Foam,Water spray
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Water may be

Water spray may be used to flush spills away from fire.
UNUSUAL FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
Perform only those fire fighting procedures for which you have been
trained. Firefighters should wear self contained breathing apparatus
in the positive pressure mode with a full facepiece when there is a
possibility of exposure to smoke, fumes or hazardous decomposition
products.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
Decomposition may produce carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STEPS TO TAKE IN CASE OF SPILL OR LEAK:
Add dry material to absorb spill (if large spill, dike to contain).
Using recommended protective equipment, pick up bulk of spill and
containerize for recovery or disposal. Flush area with water to remove
residues.
