5.Fire Fighting Measures

5.1. Extinguishing media: Water spray, foam, carbon dioxide.

5.2. Firefighting procedures:  Keep people away. Isolate fire and deny unnecessary entry. Soak thoroughly with water to cool and prevent re-ignition. Cool surroundings with water to localize fire zone. Handheld foam or carbon dioxide extinguishers may be used for small fires.

5.3. Special protective equipment for fire fighters: Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective suit.

5.5. Hazardous combustion products: During a fire, smoke may contain the original material in addition to combustion products of varying composition which may be toxic and/or irritating. Depending on the odor impregnated in the tube, combustion products may include and are not limited to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, suflur oxides, nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride, hazardous organic compounds.
