FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA <br /> Flash Point (Method Used): —11`C (12'F) (closed cup) <br /> Extinquisher Media: Water fog, carbon dioxide, dry chemical , foam <br /> Lower Upper <br /> Flammable Limits in Air, percent by vol .: <br /> Autoignition emperature: ) <br /> NFPA Fire Hazard: 3 <br /> Specia Fire Fighting Procedures: Use blanketing technique to smother <br /> fire. Water stream will scatter fire. Water spray may be used to cool <br /> fire—exposed containers. Firefighters should wi.ar self—contained <br /> breathing apparatus and protective clothing. <br /> Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Explosive and flammable mixtures <br /> with air may Be formed at room 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 /> Incompatibilities (Materials to Avoid). Strong oxidizers such as ozone, <br /> permanganate, sulfuric or nitric acids, potassium peroxide, and sodium <br /> peroxide. <br /> Hazardous Decom osition Products: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen <br /> azar ous a ymerization: floes not occur <br /> SECTION IX. SPILL, LEAK OR DISPOSAL PROCEDURES <br /> Actions To fake in Case of Spills or Leaks: Restrict from areas of <br /> spills or eaF:s persons not wearing 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: Shovel or sweep solid into suitable container, aiid cover. <br /> o Liquid: Contain spill . Prevent leakage into confined spaces or <br /> sewer drains. Where feesibie, 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 keep gas concentration below flammability <br /> t Tit. Stop the gas flow. If leak cannot be stopped, move <br /> container to safe place in open air and allow to empty. <br /> Disposal Methods: Federal laws and regulations impose highly specific <br /> requirements 1a 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. Do not dispose of <br /> potentially toxic or otherwise hazardous substances without appropriate <br /> Copyright 1984 by Envirologic Data, Inc. <br /> ENVIR010(jic dATA <br />
