Section 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
   Means of Extinction Carbon dioxide, dry chemical, foam. If water must be used, use as a spray only. Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazards Avoid heat, sparks, and open flames. Hazardous Combustion Products Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, acrid fumes.

Section 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
   Personal Precautions Refer to Section 8 for personal protection equipment information. Cleanup Procedures Small spills should be adsorbed by dirt, sand or other suitable adsorbent. Large spills may be diked with earth and pumped to closed containers for recovery or disposable. At temperatures less than 15 C, material may crystallize and form a solid mass.

Section 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
   Handling Wear safety glasses or goggles and rubber gloves and apron when handling. Storage Stire in a cool, dry location away from sources of sparks and open flame.
