General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressuredemand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Combustion generates
toxic fumes.
Extinguishing Media: For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or chemical
foam.
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid breathing dust.
Storage: Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away
from incompatible substances. Store protected from moisture.
Engineering Controls: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control airborne levels.
