SAFETY DATA SHEET PAGE 3 of 5 Section 5: FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Suitable extinguishing media: In case of fire, use water spray, foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical. Specific hazards arising from the chemical: In a fire or heated, a pressure increase will occur, and the container may burst. Hazardous thermal decomposition products: phosphorous oxides, nitrogen oxides Special protective equipment for fire-fighters: Fire-fighters should wear appropriate protective equipment and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Section 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal precautions: Keep people out of area. Put on appropriate protective equipment (see Section 8). Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Environmental precautions: Avoid contact of spilled material and runoff with soil and surface waterways. Methods for clean-up: Absorb/neutralize liquid material. Use a tool to scoop up solid or absorbed material, and put into appropriate labeled container. Use a warm water rinse for final clean-up. Section 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Storage Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Do not breathe vapor or mist. Use only with adequate ventilation. Wash thoroughly after handling. Never mix with chlorine or chlorinated cleaners doing so will release toxic chlorine gas. Store locked up in a corrosive resistant container with a resistant inner liner in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed.
