Suitable extinguishing media: Foam. Water. Carbon dioxide (CO2). Dry chemical.
Alcohol resistant foams are preferred if available. General-purpose synthetic
foams (including AFFF) or protein foams may function, but much less effectively.
Extinguishing media which must not be used for safety reasons: No information
available
Hazardous decomposition products: Burning produces obnoxious and toxic
fumes Aldehydes Carbon monoxide (CO) carbon dioxide (CO2)
Special protective equipment for firefighters: As in any fire, wear self-contained
breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent)
and full protective gear.
Under fire conditions: Cool containers / tanks with spray water. Water mist may
be used to cool closed containers.
Other information: Fine dust dispersed in air may ignite. Risks of ignition followed
by flame propagation or secondary explosions shall be prevented by avoiding
accumulation of dust, e.g. on floors and ledges.

6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personal precautions: Use personal protective equipment. See Section 8. Remove

all sources of ignition. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Sweep up to prevent
slipping hazard.
Environmental precautions: Do not flush into surface water or sanitary sewer
system. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.

Methods for cleaning up: Place into suitable container for disposal.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Safe handling advice: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid dust formation.

Workers should be protected from the possibility of contact with molten material
during fabrication. Low hazard for usual industrial or commercial handling. Use
personal protective equipment. See Section 8.
Storage: Store in cool place. Keep at temperatures below 122F (50 °C).
No special restrictions on storage with other products

Precautions: No special precautions required

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering measures: Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by

the use of local exhaust ventilation and good general extraction.
Control parameters: None
