=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:-4F,-20C
Lower Limits:2.5%
Upper Limits:12.8%
Extinguishing Media:FOR SMALL FIRES, USE DRY CHEMICAL, CARBON DIOXIDE,
    WATER SPRAY OR ALCOHOL-RESISTANT FOAM. FOR LARGE FIRES, USE
    (SUPDAT)
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
    EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CNTNRS CAN BUILD UP PRESSURE IF EXPOSED
    TO HEAT &/OR FIRE. VAPS CAN TRAVEL TO SOURCE OF IGNITION & FLASH
    BACK. USE WATER SPRAY TO KEEP FIRE-EXPOSED CNTNRS COOL.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:ABSORB SPILL WITH INERT MATERIAL (EG, DRY SAND
    OR EARTH), THEN PLACE INTO A CHEMICAL WASTE CONTAINER. WEAR
    APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING TO MINIMIZE CONTACT WITH SKIN.
