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. Material can spontaneously ignite (pyrophoric) when exposed to air at normal or slightly elevated temperatures. This material in sufficient quantity and reduced particle size is capable of creating a dust explosion. Flammable solid.
Extinguishing Media:
Use dry chemical to fight fire.
