Firefighting Measures
Extinguishing Media:
Carbon dioxide, foam, dry chemical and water fog.
Special fire fighting procedure:
Evacuate area. For large spills, fire fighting foam in sufficient quantities should be applied to blanket
the flammable product surface. Water spray should only be use d to keep fire-exposed containers cool, flush spills away form exposure, disperse vapours and protect personnel attempting to stop leak. Prevent runoff from fire control or dilution from entering streams municipal sewers, or dinking water supply.
Special protective equipment for fire fighters:
For fires in enclosed areas, fire fighters must use Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus.
Unusual fire and explosive hazards:
Highly flammable. Vapour accumulation could flash or explode if in contact with and open flame.
Further information:
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
Products of decomposition:
Fumes, smoke and carbon monoxide.
Flash Point:
25ºC
Handling and Storage (IMPORTANT!)
Self handling advice:
Harmful in contact with or if absorbed through the skin. Avoid inhalation of vapours or mists. Use in well ventilated area away from all ignition sources.
Storage information:
Store away from all ignition sources in a cool, well ventilated area. Outside or detached storage area, with an automatic sprinkling system, is preferred. This product is a static accumulator, therefore all storage containers should be grounded and bonded. Drums should also be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs and flame arresters. Do not store in open or unlabelled containers. Store away from strong oxidizing agents or combustible material.
Storage and handling:
To minimize the risk of fire or explosion from discharges, static and/or vapour accumulation, effectively bond and ground product storage and transfer systems.
