Section V - Fire and Explosion Hazard

Flash Point (Method Used):	Non-flammable (will not burn)	Explosive Limits:	N/A
Extinguishing Media:	Compatible with all extinguishing materials.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: The following protective equipment for fire fighters is recommended when this material is present in the area of a fire: self contained breathing apparatus, chemical goggles, body-covering protective clothing, chemical resistant gloves, and rubber boots.

Unusual Fire Fighting and Explosion Hazards: None

Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide

Section VI - Accidental Release

Personal Protection:	Wear chemical goggles, body-covering protective clothing, chemical resistant gloves, rubber boots.
Small Spills (less than 1 gallon):	Wear safety glasses and rubber gloves. Mop up and neutralize liquid, then discharge to sewer in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations or permits.
Large Spills:	Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do so without risk. Prevent runoff from entering into storm sewers and ditches that lead to natural waterways. Isolate, dike and store discharged material, if possible. Use sand or earth to contain spilled material. If containment is impossible, neutralize contaminated area with dilute solution of mild acid such as vinegar or citric acid and flush with large quantities of water to drain. If material is contaminated with greases, oils or other, recover neutralized liquid and dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and local requirements.
Disposal	Product and un-neutralized solutions are strongly alkaline. Dispose in accordance with Federal, State, and local requirements.
