Fire Fighting Measures

Fire Fighting
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use agent most appropriate to extinguish fire.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Stay upwind of larg spills. Provide mechanical ventilation where possible. Clean up spill while wearing full protective equipment and NIOSH approved respirator.

Stability and Reactivity

Stability
Stable.
Incompatibilities
Strong oxidizing agents.
Decomposition
May emit toxic gases and vapors such as carbon monoxide.
