5. Fire-fighting measures
Suitable (and unsuitable) extinguishing media:
Suitable extinguishing media:
Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical,
or water spray when fighting fires. Water or foam may cause
frothing if liquid is burning but it still may be a useful

extinguishing agent if carefully applied to the fire.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:

Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread
the fire.

Specific hazards arising
from the chemical:

Vapors may be ignited by sparks, flames or other
sources of ignition if material is above the flash
point giving rise to a fire (Class B). Vapors are heavier than
air and may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.

Empty containers that retain product residue (liquid, solid/
sludge, or vapor) can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut,
weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose container to heat,
flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition.
Any of these actions can potentially cause an explosion that
may lead to injury or death.

Hazardous combustion products:

Oxides of carbon, Incomplete combustion products,
Fume, Smoke, Sulfuroxides, Wax and Oil fumes

Special protective equipment and
precautions for fire-fighters:
Do not enter fire area without proper protection

including self-contained breathing apparatus and

full protective equipment. Fight fire from a safe distance

and a protected location due to the potential of
hazardous vapors and decomposition products.

Use appropriate methods for the surrounding fire.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment
and emergency procedures:
No health effects expected from the clean-up of this

material if contact can be avoided. Follow personal

protective equipment recommendations found in Section
VIII of this SDS.
