Extinguisher
Media Dry chemical, carbon dioxide and foam can be used.
Special Fire
Fighting Procedures Water will generate heat due to the silica gel which will adsorb water and liberate heat.
Unusual Fire and
Explosion Hazards When exposed to water, the silica gel can get hot enough to reach the boiling point of water. Flooding with
water will reduce the temperature to safe limits.
