Fire and Explosion Hazard Information




Thermal decomposition or combustion may produce dense smoke and other dangerous fumes which in fire situations form a highly toxic explosive.
In the event of fire the surrounding area must be evacuated and all personnel kept well upwind of the area.
Full fire fighting protective gear and a self contained breathing apparatus operating in the positive pressure mode must be worn for combating fire. Material near fires must be cooled with water spray to prevent ignition. Fires should be allowed to burn themselves out if not threatening to life or property. If fire is threatening to life or property use copious quantities of water to extinguish.
