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. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion. Flammable solid. Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flame. Powder suspended in air can produce an explosive flash.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.
