Fire-fighting measures
Extinguishing media
Suitable extinguishing media:
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable extinguishing media:
High volume water jet
Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
Specific hazards during firefighting / Specific hazards arising from the chemical:
CAUTION: reignition may occur.
Supports combustion.
Do not use a solid water stream as it may scatter and spread fire.
Water spray may be ineffective unless used by experienced firefighters.
Heating may cause decomposition with release of toxic fumes
Do not allow run-off from fire fighting to enter drains or water courses.
Combustion products:
Fire will produce smoke containing hazardous combustion products (see section 10).
Advice for firefighters
Special protective equipment for firefighters:
In the event of fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus.
Further information:
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.
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.

Heat, flames and sparks.
Incompatible materials
Materials to avoid:
Contact with incompatible materials will result in hazardous decomposition.
For queries regarding the suitability of other materials please contact the supplier.
Do not mix with peroxide accelerators, unless under controlled processing.
Use only stainless steel 316, PP, polyethylene or glass-lined equipment.
Acids and bases
Iron
Copper
Reducing agents
Heavy metals
Rust
Hazardous decomposition products
Hazardous decomposition products:
Carbon oxides
Acetic acid
tert-Butanol
Methyl ethyl ketone
Acetone
Methane
Thermal decomposition:
SADT - (Self accelerating decomposition temperature) is the lowest temperature at which self accelerating decomposition may occur with a substance in the packaging as used in transport. A dangerous self-accelerating decomposition reaction and, under certain circumstances, explosion or fire can be caused by thermal decomposition at and above the SADT. Contact with incompatible substances can cause decomposition below the SADT.
Self-Accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT):
70 °C
Stable under normal conditions.
Chemical stability
Stable under recommended storage conditions.
