FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

Flash point                   more than 118°C (245°F)

Autoignition temperture        Not determined.

Flammability limits in air       Not determined.

Extinguishing media           On large fires use dry chemical, foam or water spray. On small fires use carbon dioxide(CO2), dry chemical or water spray. Water can be used to cool fire exposed containers.

Fire Fighting Measures      Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing should  be worn in fighting large fires involving chemicals. Determine the need to evacuate or isolate the area according to your local emergency plan. Use water spray to keep fire exposed containers cool.

Unusual fire hazards         None.

Hazardous decomposition products

Silicon dioxide. Carbon oxides and traces of incompletely burned carbon compounds.
