Fighting Procedures - The use of self contained breathing apparatus is recommended. Water may be used on containers exposed to intense heat from fires to prevent vapor pressure build up which could result in container rupture. Keep containers cooled with water and remove them from danger as soon as possible. If aerosols are bursting, stay clear until bursting is completed.
Aerosols can be projectiles when bursting.
Containers exposed to intense heat from fires must be cooled with water to prevent vapor pressure build up which could result in container rupture. Incompatible Material to Avoid -Strong alkali or alkaline earth metals, finely powdered metals such as aluminum, magnesium or zinc, hydrochloric acid. Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts - Hydrogen fluoride, Hydrogen Chloride, Carbon Dioxide, Carbon Monoxide, Carbonyl Halides, and other unidentified organic compounds may be formed during combustion. In the presence of oxygen, these chemicals can gradually form carbonyl halides, such as Phosgene, a highly toxic chemical. Skin - Slight irritant with prolonged or repeated contact can result in defatting and drying of the skin which may result in skin irritation and dermatitis.
