Section V - Fire Fighting Measures Flash Point: Not Flammable Autoignition Temperature: Not Flammable Lower Explosive Limit: N/A Upper Explosive Limit: N/A Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Perch loroethylene is nonflammable and non-explosive under normal conditions of use. At high temperatures PCE decomposes to give off hydrochloric acid as gas plus other toxic and irritating vapors such as phosgene. Vapors are heavier than air and collect in low-lying areas. Extinguishing Media: Water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or foam may be used where perchloroethylene is stored. Special Firefighting Procedures: Storage containers exposed to fire should be kept cool with a water spray in order to prevent pressure build-up. In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode. Section VI - Accidental Release Measures Ventilate the area of the leak or spill. Persons performing clean-up work should wear adequate personal protective equipment and clothing. Keep material out of water sources and sewers. Build dikes to contain flow as necessary. Neutralize with alkaline material (soda ash, lime), then absorb with an inert material (e.g., vermiculite, dry sand, earth), and place in a chemical waste container. Do not use combustible materials, such as saw dust. Flush area with water to remove trace residue, and dispose of the flush solution. Section VII - Handling and Storage Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing, and avoid breathing the mist. Keep containers closed, and use with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Under normal conditions, perch loroethylene may be stored satisfactorily in Product Name: Perch loroethylene 2 of 5
