Special fire fighting procedures:
Water may be ineffective 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 person-
nel attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be
used to flush spills away from areas of potential ig-
nition.
☞
Unusual fire and explosion hazards:
Highly Flammable. Products of combustion may
contain carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other
toxic materials.
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, waterways, or low areas. Soak
up with sawdust, sand, oil dry or other absorbent ma-
terial. Shovel or sweep up.
Remove source of heat, sparks, flame, impact, fric-
tion or electricity including internal combustion en-
gines and power tools. If equipment is used for spill
cleanup, it must be explosion proof and suitable for
flammable liquid and vapor.
Vapors released from the spill may create an
explosive atmosphere.
☞
Waste disposal method:
Treatment, storage, transportation and disposal
must be in accordance with applicable federal,
state, provincial, and local regulations.
DO NOT flush to surface water or sanitary
sewer system. By itself, the liquid is expected
