Fire Fighting Procedures:AS IN ANY FIRE, WEAR A SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS IN PRESSURE-DEMAND, MSHA/NIOSH (APPROVED OR
EQUIVALENT), AND FULL PROTECTIVE GEAR. DURING A FIRE, IRRITATING
AND HIGHLY TOXIC GASES MAY BE GEN ERATED BY THERMAL DECOMPOSITION
OR COMBUSTION. OXIDIZER. GREATLY INCREASES THE BURNING RATE OF
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:DUST CAN BE AN EXPLOSION HAZARD WHEN
EXPOSED TO HEAT OR FLAME. CONTAMINATING OR MIXING WITH FOREIGN
MATERIALS SUCH AS COMBUSTIBLES, GREASE, AND FUELS CAN CAUSE FIRE.
USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL FIRE-EXPO SED CONTAINERS.
