Section 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Water Reactive.
Flammable liquid and vapor. May form explosive peroxides.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry chemical to fight fire. DO NOT USE WATER!
