Special fire fighting procedures:
Use water to keep fire exposed containers cool. If
leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to dis-
perse the vapors and to provide protection for per-
sonnel 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 mon-
oxide, carbon dioxide, and other toxic materials.
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 soak-
ing up of residual fluids by use of absorbent materi-
als.
Remove contaminated items including contami-
nated soil and place in proper containers for dis-
posal. Avoid washing, draining, or directing
material to storm or sanitary sewers .
☞
Waste disposal method:
Recycle as much of the recoverable product as
