Notes to Physician:
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Substance is noncombustible. Decomposes at high
temperatures releasing oxygen which may cause an existing fire to
burn more vigorously.
Extinguishing Media:
Use extinguishing media most appropriate for the surrounding fire.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
General Information:
Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
