HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS: During a fire, smoke may contain the original
material in addition to unidentified toxic and/or irritating compounds. Hazardous combustion
products may include and are not limited to carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
OTHER FLAMMABILITY INFORMATION: Violent steam generation or eruption may occur
upon application of direct water stream to hot liquids. Flammable concentrations of vapour can
accumulate at temperatures above 214°F. Liquid mist of this product can burn. Spills of these
organic liquids on hot fibrous insulations may lead to lowering of the autoignition temperatures
possibly resulting in spontaneous combustion. Container may rupture from gas generation in a
fire situation.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Water fog or fine spray, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam.
Alcohol resistant foams (ATC type) are preferred if available. General purpose synthetic foams
(including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but much less effectively. Do not use direct
water stream. May spread fire.
MEDIA TO BE AVOIDED: Do not use direct water stream.
FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: Keep people away. Isolate fire area and deny unnecessary
entry. Burning liquids may be moved by flushing with water to protect personnel and minimize
property damage. Burning liquids may be extinguished by dilution with water. Do not use direct
water stream. May spread fire. Fight fire from protected location or safe distance. Consider
use of unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles. Use water spray to cool fire exposed
containers and fire affected zone until fire is out and danger of re-ignition has passed.
Immediately withdraw all personnel from area in case of rising sound from venting safety device
or discolouration of the container. Move container from fire area if this is possible without
hazard.
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR FIRE FIGHTERS: Wear positive-pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus (SCBA) and protective fire fighting clothing (includes fire fighting helmet,
coat, pants, boots and gloves). If protective equipment is not available or not used, fight fire
from a protected location or safe distance.
