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. Water Reactive. Material will react with water and may release a flammable and/or toxic gas. Extremely flammable liquid and vapor.
Containers may explode in the heat of a fire.
Extinguishing Media:
Do NOT use carbon dioxide. Use dry chemical to fight fire. DO NOT USE WATER!

Section 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Absorb spill with inert material (e.g. vermiculite, sand or earth), then place in suitable container. Remove all sources of ignition.
Use a spark-proof tool. Provide ventilation. Do not expose spill to water.
