Flash Point:No data available.
Extinguishing Media:regular dry chemical, regular foam, water Large
fires: Use regular foam or flood with fine water spray.
Fire Fighting Procedures:Move container from fire area if it can be
done without risk. Fight large fires from a protected location or
safe distance. Stay away from the ends of tanks. Dike for later
disposal. Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water
streams.

Neutralizing Agent:

Handling and Storage Precautions:Store and handle in accordance with
all current regulations and standards. Notify State Emergency
Response Commission for storage or use at amounts greater than or
equal to the TPQ (U.S. EPA SARA Section 302). SARA Section 303
requires facilities storing a material with a TPQ to participate in
local emergency response planning (U.S. EPA 40 CFR 355.30). Store
in a cool, dry place. Store in a well-ventilated area. Keep
separated from incompatible substances. Keep separated from
incompatible substances.
Other Precautions:

Respiratory Protection:The following respirators and maximum use
concentrations are drawn from NIOSH and/or OSHA. At any detectable
concentration - Any self-contained breathing apparatus that has a
full facepiece and is operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode. Any supplied-air respirator with full
facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or other
positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Escape - Any air-purifying respirator with a full facepiece
and an organic vapor canister. Any appropriate escape-type,
self-contained breathing apparatus. For Unknown Concentrations or
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health - Any supplied-air
respirator with full facepiece and operated in a pressure-demand or
other positive-pressure mode in combination with a separate escape
supply. Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full
facepiece.
Ventilation:Provide local exhaust or process enclosure ventilation
system. Ensure compliance with applicable exposure limits.
Protective Gloves:Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Eye Protection:Wear splash resistant safety goggles. Provide an
emergency eye wash fountain and quick drench shower in the
immediate work area.
Other Protective Equipment:Wear appropriate chemical resistant
clothing.
