Fire and Explosion Data
Flash Point (Method Used): 205oC (401oF) (Cleveland Open Cup)
Extinguishing Media: Water fog or mist, foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Avoid using a direct stream of water, other than light spray.
General Fire Hazards: Product is not considered combustible. If heated above its flash point in the presence of air, product can support combustion. Porous material such as rags, paper, insulation, or organic clay may spontaneously combust when wetted with this material. If mist is generated, minimum flash point may be reduced.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Toxic gases may be released during fire. Smoke, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water, trace quantities of sulfur oxides, and other products of combustion.
Fire Fighting Equipment: Wear full protective clothing, including self-contained positive pressure or pressure demand breathing apparatus, helmet, and protective clothing. Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers and to protect personnel.
Accidental release measures
Containment: Contain the discharged material. Do not allow product to enter sewer or waterways. Check with local and state environmental agencies for guidance.
Clean-up Procedures: Spills may present a slipping (physical) hazard. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean up. Absorb spill with inert material. Shovel material into appropriate container for disposal. Thoroughly wash spill area with water after clean up. WATER SPILL: product is regulated as oil under the Clean Water Act. Follow all applicable regulations. Follow all Local, State, Federal and Provincial regulations for disposal.
Evacuation Procedures: Isolate area. Keep unnecessary personnel away. In case of large spills, follow all facility emergency response procedures.
Special Instructions: Remove soiled clothing and launder before reuse (See Section 8 Storage). Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of fumes from hot product.
Rules of the reference and storage
