General Fire Hazards
See Section 9 for Flammability Properties.
None
Hazardous Combustion Products
Not Determined
Extinguishing Media
CO2, extinguishing powder or water spray. Fight larger fires with water spray or alcohol resistant foam.
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
Because fire may produce thermal decomposition products, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
with a full face piece operated in pressure-demand or positive-pressure mode.
