2 Fire Fighting Methods and Protection: Fire and/or Explosion Hazards: Hazardous Combustion Products: Section 6 Firefighters should wear full protective equipment and NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus. Above flashpoint, explosive vapor-air mixtures may be formed. Heating may cause an explosion. Vapors may travel back to ignition source. Closed Containers exposed to heat may explode. Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide Spill or Leak Procedures Steps to Take in Case Material Is Released or Spilled: Section 7 Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this SDS. Additional precautions may be necessary based on special circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred. Also consider the expertise of employees in the area responding to the spill. Exposure to the spilled material may be severely irritating or toxic. Follow personal protective equipment recommendations found in Section 8 of this SDS. Personal protective equipment needs must be evaluated based on information provided on this sheet and the special circumstances created by the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in which the spill occurred, and the expertise of employees in the area responding to the spill. Never exceed any occupational exposure limits. Ventilate the contaminated area. Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective equipment following the recommendation of Section 8 at a minimum. Dike with suitable absorbent material like granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container pending a waste disposal evaluation. Shut off ignition sources; including electrical equipment and flames. Do not allow smoking in the area. Block any potential routes to water systems. Handling and Storage Handling: Storage: Storage Code: Section 8 Obtain special instructions before use.
