5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
5.1 Fire & Explosion Hazards: PRESSURIZED CONTAINER MAY BURST IF HEATED. Level 1 Aerosol (NFPA 30B). Aerosols
may burst at temperatures above 120 °F. Cool uninvolved containers to prevent possible bursting.
Aerosols may be projectile hazards when bursting. If aerosols are bursting, stay clear until bursting
is complete. Containers may rupture and release liquids or/or exposed gases if exposed to the
heat of fire. Keep containers cool by spraying them with water until the fire has been extinguished.
Keep away from heat, lit cigarettes, sparks & open flame. Keep container closed.
5.2 Extinguishing Methods: Product is an extinguishing media. Water, Foam, CO2, Dry Chemical.
5.3 Firefighting Procedures: As in any fire, wear MSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus (pressure-
demand) and full protective gear. Keep containers cool until well after the fire is out. Use water
spray to cool fire-exposed surfaces and to protect personal. Fight fire upwind. Prevent runoff from
fire control or dilution from entering sewers, drains, drinking water supply, or any natural waterway.
Firefighters must use full bunker gear including NIOSH-approved positive pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus to protect against potential hazardous combustion or decomposition products
and oxygen deficiencies.
