Upper flammable limit (% by vol.): 18.6 (propellant)
Explosion data: Sensitivity to mechanical impact / static discharge: Not expected to be sensitive.
Oxidizing properties: None known.
Suitable extinguishing media: Use foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or water fog. If foam from
product has been released, use water with caution since the reaction with water can be vigorous at
higher temperatures.
Special fire-fighting procedures/equipment: Do not enter fire area without proper protection.
Firefighters should wear proper protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus with full
facepiece. Shield personnel to protect from venting, rupturing or bursting cans. Move containers from
fire area if it can be done without risk. Water spray may be useful in cooling equipment exposed to
heat and flame.
Hazardous combustion products: Carbon oxides, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen cyanide, phosphorous
oxides, hydrogen chloride and other irritating fumes and smoke.
SECTION 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Restrict access to area until completion of clean-up. Ensure clean-up is conducted
by trained personnel only. All persons dealing with clean-up should wear the appropriate chemically
protective equipment. Keep all other personnel upwind and away from the spill/release. Refer to
Section 8, EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION, for additional information
on acceptable personal protective equipment.
Environmental precautions: Ensure spilled product does not enter drains, sewers, waterways or confined
spaces.
Spill response/Cleanup: Eliminate all sources of heat, sparks and flame. Increase ventilation in area of
release to prevent the build-up of flammable atmospheres. Stop leak if you can do so without risk.
Allow released foam to cure and solidify. Shovel or scape up cured foam and place into suitable,
labeled containers for later disposal. If liquid concentrate is released, contain and absorb any spilled
liquid concentrate with inert, non-combustible absorbent material (e.g. sand). Then place absorbent
material into a suitable, labeled container for later disposal (see Section 13). Contaminated absorbent
material may pose the same hazards as the spilled product. Notify the appropriate authorities as
required.
