FIRE EXTINGUISHING MATERIALS: Use material suitable for surrounding fire. Several ingredients are actually used as fire retardants.
Water Spray: X Carbon Dioxide: X
Foam: X Dry Chemical: X Halon: X
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Use water spray to cool
containers and control vapors.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Can release ammonia , nitrous oxide fumes, cyanides, oxides of carbon and phosphorous oxide
fumes.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
SPILL AND LEAK RESPONSE: For small or incidental releases, the minimum personal protective equipment should be chemical resistant
gloves and goggles. Uncontrolled releases should be responded to by trained personnel using pre-planned procedures. Proper protective
equipment should be used. Gas masks with ammonia canister or SCBA may be required. For large spills, contain by diking with soil or other
non-combustible absorbent material. Dilution with water will reduce the possibility of vapor release. Keep material out of sewers, storm
drains, and surface waters. Comply with all applicable governmental regulations on spill reporting, handling, and disposal of waste. You may
be able to reuse the recovered liquid.
PART III How can I prevent hazardous situations from occurring?
7. HANDLING and STORAGE
