General Fire Hazards: DX Alltra 480 is flame resistant. If an ignition source is
present, Alltra will burn in atmospheres containing at least 95% oxygen. When
flame is applied to Alltra in air, it will ignite due to gaseous decomposition, but will
not continue to burn once the flame is removed.
Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, and water fog.
Fire Fighting Instructions: Self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn.
Use normal fire fighting procedures. Neoprene or other impervious gloves should
be worn when handling refuse from a fire due to the possible presence of
hydrofluoric acid.
Section 6 鈥? Accidental Release Measures
Containment Procedures: Pick up any large pieces.
Clean-Up Procedures: Collect material and place in a suitable container for
disposal as non-hazardous waste.
