Fire Fighting
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. Wear self-contained (positive pressure if available) breathing apparatus and full protective clothing.This material may burn but does not ignite readily. Small fires: dry chemical, carbon dioxide, water spray or foam. Large fires: Water spray, fog or foam. Move container from fire area if you can do it without risk.

Fire Potential
Combustible Liquid.

Small spills/leaks
Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay upwind; keep out of low areas. If water pollution occurs, notify appropriate authorities. Do not touch spilled material; stop leak if you can do so without risk. Small spills: absorb with sand or other noncombustible absorbent material and place into containers for later disposal. Small dry spills: with clean shovel, place material into clean, dry container and cover; move containers from spill area. Large spills: dike far ahead of spill for alter disposal.

Incompatibilities
Incompatible with sodium hydroxide If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation.

Stability
Stable at room temperature in closed containers under normal storage and handling conditions.

Combustion Products
During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
