Fire-fighting measures

Flammable properties


Flash point: > 93.33 °C (> 199.99 °F)


Method: closed cup


Suitable extinguishing media: Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide. Use extinguishing measures that are appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment.


Unsuitable extinguishing media: High volume water jet


Specific hazards during fire fighting: Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses. Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire


Specific extinguishing methods: Standard procedure for chemical fires.


Further information: Use water spray to cool unopened containers.


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

Accidental release measures

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Ensure adequate ventilation.


Environmental precautions: Prevent product from entering drains. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
