Fire Fighting Measures

Flammable Properties: Flash Point: 70 °C
Auto Ignition Temperature: 169 °C (Glycol ether type solvent)
Flammable Point:2.5vol%-33.0Vol% (Glycol ether type solvent)Extinguishing Media: carbon dioxide, regular dry powder, regular dry chemical, water
spray, alcohol resistant foam.

Unsuitable Extinguishing: Do not scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams.

MediaSpecial Hazards Arising: Combustible liquid and vapor. Irritating fumes and gases may befrom the Chemical

released upon thermal processing or during combustion.

Hazardous Combustion: Combustion: oxides of carbon, oxides of nitrogen

Products
Fire Fighting Measures: Move container from fire area if it can be done without risk. Do not
scatter spilled material with high-pressure water streams. Coolcontainers with water spray until well after the fire is out. Stay awayfrom the ends of tanks. Avoid inhalation of material or combustion
by-products. For fires in cargo or storage area: Cool containers withwater from unmanned hose holder or monitor nozzles until well after
fire is out. If this is impossible then take the following precautions:
Keep unnecessary people away, isolate hazard area and deny entry.
Let the fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound fromventing safety device or any discoloration of tanks due to fire.
