Special fire fighting procedures:
Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool.
If leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to
disperse the vapors and to provide protection for
personnel attempting to stop a leak. Water spray
may be used to flush spills away from exposures.
+
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Products of combustion may contain carbon
monoxide, carbon dioxide, and other toxic
materials.
! DANGER
DO NOT enter enclosed or confined space
without proper protective equipment including
respiratory protection.
+
Spill or leak:
Contain spill immediately in smallest area possible.
Recover as much of the product itself as possible
by such methods as vacuuming, followed by
soaking up of residual fluids by use of absorbent
materials.
Remove contaminated items including contaminated
soil and place in proper containers for disposal.
Avoid washing, draining, or directing material to
storm or sanitary sewers .
+
Waste disposal method:
Recycle as much of the recoverable product as
possible.
Dispose of non-recyclable material as a RCRA
hazardous waste by such methods as incineration,
complying with federal, state, and local regulations.
❑ Foam In Tires
+
Extinguishing media:
Water, dry chem i cal, foam, or CO
2
.
+
Special fire fighting procedures:
Evacuate non emergency personnel to a safe area.
+
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Fire fighters should use self contained breathing
apparatus. Avoid breathing smoke, fumes, and
decomposition products.
Use water spray to drench smoldering elastomer.
Product may melt, after ignition, to form flammable
liquid.
! DANGER
Burning produces intense heat, dense smoke,
and toxic gases, such as carbon monoxide,
oxides of nitrogen, and traces of hydrogen
cyanide.
+
Spill or leak:
Pick up and handle as any other inert solid material.
+
Waste disposal method:
Not considered a hazardous material. Dispose of
material according to any local, state, and federal
regulations.
❑
Gasoline (UN 1203)
+
Extinguishing media:
Dry chemical, foam, or CO2.
+
Special fire fighting procedures:
Water may be in effective to extinguish, but water
should be used to keep fire exposed containers
cool. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water
spray to disperse the vapors and to protect
personnel attempting to stop a leak. Water spray
may be used to flush spills away from areas of
potential ignition.
+
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Highly Flammable. Products of combustion may
contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and
othertoxicmaterials.
! DANGER
DO NOT enter enclosed or confined space
without proper protective equipment including
respiratory protection.
+
Spill or leak:
Review fire and explosion hazards before
proceeding with clean up. Use appropriate personal
protective equipment during clean up. Dike spill.
Prevent liquid from entering sewers, water ways, or
low areas. Soak up with sawdust, sand, oil dry or
other absorbent material. Shovel or sweep up.
Remove source of heat, sparks, flame, impact,
friction or electricity including internal combustion
engines and power tools. If equipment is used
for spill cleanup, it must be explosion proof and
suitable for flammable liquid and vapor.
