General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-
demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear.
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal
decomposition or combustion. Vapors may be heavier than air. They can
spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Extinguishing Media:
Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire. Use dry chemical, carbon
dioxide, or appropriate foam. Water spray may be ineffective and may spread
fire.

-36°C
Auto ignition Temperature:
390°C
Explosion limits, Lower:
2.3 vol% at 20°C.

14.3 vol% at 20°C.
NFPA Rating:
Health: 3; Flammability: 4; Instability: 1
SECTION 6: Accidental Release Measures
General Information:
Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in
suitable container. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Provide ventilation.
SECTION 7: Handling and Storage
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Use with
adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed.
Avoid ingestion and inhalation.
Storage:
Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances.
SECTION 8: Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
facility and a safety shower. Use adequate ventilation to keep airborne
concentrations low.
