SECTION 5: FIREFIGHTING MEASURES Extinguishing Media Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use extinguishing media appropriate for surrounding fire. Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam, water spray, sand.

5 Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use a heavy water stream. Use of heavy stream of water may spread fire. Special Hazards Arising From the Substance or Mixture Fire Hazard: May be combustible at high temperature. Explosion Hazard: Risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition. Risk of explosion if heated under confinement. Reactivity: Stable at ambient temperature and under normal conditions of use. Advice for Firefighters Firefighting Instructions: Exercise caution when fighting any chemical fire. Protection During Firefighting: Do not enter fire area without proper protective equipment, including respiratory protection. SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions, Protective Equipment and Emergency Procedures General Measures: Do not allow product to spread into the environment.

6 Avoid generating dust. Can be slippery on hard, smooth walking area. For Non-emergency Personnel Protective Equipment: Use appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE). Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel. For Emergency Responders Protective Equipment: Equip cleanup crew with proper protection. Emergency Procedures: Ventilate area. Environmental Precautions Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Avoid release to the environment. Methods and Material for Containment and Cleaning Up For Containment: Avoid generation of dust during clean-up of spills. Use a soft bristle brush or conductive rubber or conductive plastic shovel.

7 Use caution, material is sensitive to initiation from sources such as heat, flame, shock, friction, or sparks. Use only non-sparking tools. Methods for Cleaning Up: Clear up spills immediately and dispose of waste safely. Reference to Other Sections See heading 8, Exposure Controls and Personal Protection. SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Precautions for Safe Handling Additional Hazards When Processed: Use care during processing to minimize generation of dust. Hygiene Measures: Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety procedures.
