A <br />5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES <br />Flash Point <br />-4.0 F (-20.0 C) TCC <br />Explosive Limit <br />(for product) Lower 2.6 Upper .0 0 <br />Autoignition Temperature <br />No data <br />Hazardous Products of Combustion <br />May form: carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. <br />Fire and Explosion Hazards <br />Material is highly volatile and readily gives off vapors which may <br />travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited by <br />pilot lights, other flames, sparks, heaters, smoking, electric <br />motors, static discharge, or other ignition sources at locations <br />distant from material handling point. Never use welding or <br />cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product (even <br />just residue) can ignite explosively. <br />Extinguishing Media <br />alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical. <br />Fire Fighting Instructions <br />Water may be ineffective. Water may be used to keep fire -exposed <br />containers cool until fire is out. Wear a self-contained <br />breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive <br />pressure demand mode with appropriate turn -out gear and chemical <br />resistant personal protective equipment. Refer to the personal <br />protective equipment section of this MSDS. <br />NFPA Rating <br />Health - 1, Flammability - 3, Reactivity - 0 <br />6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES <br />Small Spill <br />Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent <br />material. <br />Large Spill <br />Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot <br />lights, electrical sparks). Persons not wearing protective <br />equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has <br />been completed. Stop spill at source. Prevent from entering <br />drains, sewers, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent from <br />spreading. If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. <br />Pump or vacuum transfer spilled product to clean containers for <br />recovery. Absorb unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated <br />---absorbent, soil and other materials to containers for disposal. --- -- <br />Prevent run-off to sewers, streams or other bodies of water. If <br />run-off occurs, notify proper authorities as required, that a <br />spill has occurred. <br />7. HANDLING AND STORAGE <br />Handling <br />Containers of this material may be hazardous when emptied. Since <br />emptied containers retain product residues (vapor, liquid, and/or <br />
