Section 5: Fire & Explosion Data
General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand,
MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly
toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Will burn if involved in a fire.
Favours may be heavier than air. They can spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas.
Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Extinguishing Media: In case of fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant
foam. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.
Flash Point: > 1120C (> 233.60F)
Auto-ignition Temperature: Not available
Explosion Limit, Lower: Not available
Upper: Not available
NFPA Rating: (estimated) Health: 1; Flammability: 1; Instability: 0

Section 6: Accidental Release
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks: Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place on suitable
container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches, which lead to waterways. Cleanup spills
immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Provide ventilation.
Section 7: Handling & Storage
Handling : Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with
eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly
Storage : Store in a tightly closed container. Store in a cool dry, well-ventilated
area away from incompatible substances.
