EXTINGUISHING MEDIA AND FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTION
Product is not flammable. If product is involved with other substances, use water, dry chemical or CO2. Exercise caution when
fighting fires involving chemical substances. Respiratory protection is required.
As in any fire, prevent human exposure to fire, smoke, fumes, or products of combustion. Evacuate nonessential personnel from
the fire area. Fire fighters should wear full face, self -contained breathing apparatus and impervious protective clothing. Use
standard fire-fighting techniques to extinguish fires involving this material. Use water spray, Dry chemicals, foam or carbon
dioxide. If drums are NOT leaking, keep fire-exposed containers cool with a water spray to prevent rupture due to excessive heat.
High-pressure water hoses may spread product from broken containers, increasing contamination or fire hazards. Contaminated
buildings, areas and equipment must not be used until they are properly decontaminated.
If fire cannot be controlled and containers are heated, EVACUATE THE AREA!
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED

?Dyke area to contain spill. Soak up pooled liquid with a suitable absorbent such as clay, sawdust, kitty litter, or fuller's
earth. Sweep up the absorbent material and place into an appropriate chemical waste container for disposal. Generously
cover contaminated area with slurry of common, powdered household laundry detergent and water. Using a stiff brush,
work the slurry into cracks and crevices. Allow to stand for 2 to 3 minutes then flush with water. Repeat if necessary. Do
not discharge unless in accordance with Federal, State, and Local Regulations.
