A water stream can scatter flames. A spray of water may <br /> .. be used to cool fire-exposed containers. <br /> This flammable liquid is a dangerous fire hazard and a moderate explosion hazard when <br /> exposed to heat or flame. Heavier-than-air vapors can flow along surfaces to distant <br /> ignition sources and flash back. <br /> - Firefighters should use self-contained breathing apparatus. <br /> SECTION V. REACTIVITY DATA <br /> This material is stable in cloned containers at *oom temperature. It does not poly- <br /> merize. <br /> IC is flammable (OSHA Class IC liquid) and can form explosive mixtures with air. Keep <br /> away from sources of heat, sources of ignition and strong oxidizing agents. Thermal- + <br /> oxidative degradation in air can produce toxic vapors and gases, including carbon <br /> monoxide and oxides of nitrogen.
