Fire-fighting measures
: Non-flammable. ASHRAE 34. In case of fire, use water spray (fog), foam, dry chemical or CO2 extinguisher or spray. : Possibility of generating hazardous reactions during a fire due to the presence of F and/or Cl groups. In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool. This product is not flammable at ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure. However, this material can ignite when mixed with air under pressure and exposed to strong ignition sources. : These products are carbon oxides (CO, CO2), halogenated compounds, hydrogen fluoride, carbonyl halides. : >250C (482F) : Fire-fighters should wear self-contained positive pressure breathing apparatus (SCBA) and full turnout gear.
