5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES

NFPA: Health: 0 Flammability: 2 Instability: 0

Suitable extinguishing media : Water spray jet, Foam, Carbon dioxide (CO2)

Unsuitable extinguishing media : High volume water jet

Specific hazards : Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread
fire. Hazardous decomposition products may be formed under
fire conditions (see section 10). Exposure to decomposition
products may be a hazard to health.

Special protective equipment : In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
for fire-fighters Use personal protective equipment.

Further information : Standard procedure for chemical fires. Use extinguishing

measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the
surrounding environment. In the event of fire and/or explosion
do not breathe fumes. Collect contaminated fire extinguishing
water separately. This must not be discharged into drains. Fire
residues and contaminated fire extinguishing water must be
disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
