SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Evacuate personnel to safe area. Keep personnel removed and upwind of fire. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. If water spray is used to fight fire, dike and collect runoff. Prevent the use of contaminated buildings, area, and equipment until decontaminated. Water runoff can cause environmental damage.               

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Thermal decomposition may produce irritating and possibly toxic gases including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides (NOx), phosphorus oxides.

SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Control the spill at its source. Contain the spill to prevent from spreading or contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems or any body of water. Clean up spills immediately. Isolate hazard area. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering.      

SECTION 6 NOTES: 
Small Spill: Absorb small spills with sand, vermiculite or other inert absorbent. Place contaminated material in appropriate container for disposal. Scrub area with hard water detergent. Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place into appropriate container for disposal.

Large Spill: Dike large spills using absorbent or impervious material such as clay or sand. Recover and contain as much free liquid as possible for reuse. Allow absorbed material to solidify and scrape up for disposal. Pick up wash liquid with additional absorbent and place in a disposable container. After removal, flush contaminated area thoroughly with water. This material should be prevented from contaminating soil or from entering sewage and drainage systems and bodies of water.

SECTION 7:  HANDLING AND STORAGE
