FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA <br /> Flash Point (Method Used) : -11% (12'F) (closed cup) <br /> Extinauisner Media: 'dater fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical , foam <br /> Lower Upper <br /> Flammable Limits in Air, percent by vol .: .3 /.l <br /> r1UtJ1pn1t10n iemperdtur?: A G tl70 r) <br /> UNFPA Fire Hazard: 3 <br /> 5oecial =ire Fighting Procedures: Use blanketing technique to smother <br /> fire. dater stream will scatter fire. ',Dater spray may be used to cool <br /> fire-exposed containers . Firefighters should wear self-contained <br /> breathing apparatus and protec_ive clothing. <br /> Unusual Fire and Exolosion Hazards: Explosive and flammable mixtures <br /> eii t+`1 air may roe formea at ;oom temperature. In a fire situation it is a <br /> severe explosion hazard. Vapors may flow a distance along surfaces to <br /> ignition sources and flash back. <br /> SECTION VIII. REACTIVITY DATA <br /> Stability: Stable under normal conditions of handling and storage. <br /> NFPA ,Reactivity: 0 <br /> Incomaatioilities (Materials to Avoid): Strong oxidizers such as ozone, <br /> permanganate, suir'uric or nitric a�dGs, potassium peroxide, and sodium <br /> peroxide. <br /> Hazardous Decomoosition ?roduc}s: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen <br /> Hazaraous Polymerization: Does not occur <br /> SECTION IX. SPILL, LEAK OR DISPOSAL PROCEDURES <br /> Actions ;o Take in Case of Soills or Leaks: Restrict from areas of <br /> spills or ieaKs persons not rearing protective equipment and clothing. <br /> Eliminate sources of ignition. Ventilate area. Inform supervisor or <br /> health and safety officer of any spill or leak . While protecting against <br /> eye and skin contact and inhalation of vapors, take the following steps: <br /> o Solid: Shovei or sweep solid into suitable container , and cover . <br /> o Liquid: Contain spill . Prevent leakage into confined spaces or <br /> saver drains . ',there feasible , absorb liquid with paper towels , <br /> vermiculite, sand, or other non-combustible absorbent material . <br /> Collect in suitable container and cover. <br /> o Gas: Ventilate area to {zea gas concentration below flairmability <br /> Timit. Stop the gas flow. If leak cannot be stopped, move <br /> container to safe place in apen air and allow to empty. <br /> Disoosal Methods: Federal laws and regulations impose highly specific <br /> requirements for disposal of toxic and otherwise hazardous materials . <br /> Consult with your supervisor or health and safety officer regarding the <br /> proper, legal disposal procedures for this substance.
