INGESTION: Get medical attention.
SECTION 5: FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: Negligible fire hazard when exposed to heat or flame.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or regular foam. For larger fires, use
water spray, fog or regular foam (1996 North American Emergency Response Guidebook, RSPA P 5800.7)
FIRE FIGHTING: Move container(s) from fire area if you can without risk. Apply cooling water to sides of
containers that are exposed to flames until well after fire is out. Extinguish fire using agent suitable for type of
surrounding fire and/or chemicals. Do not use water directly on material. Avoid breathing corrosive vapors
keep upwind. Dike area to prevent runoff and contamination of water sources.
