Fire Fighting Measures

Flash Point
159
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. To extinguish fire, use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, or alcohol-resistant foam.

Accidental Release Measures

Small spills/leaks
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.

Stability
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures.
Incompatibilities
Strong oxidizing agents. Darkens upon exposure to light, air or moisture.
Decomposition
Carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, carbon dioxide.
