For large fires use water spray fog or regular foam. Damaged cylinders should be handled by.
Above flash point vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limi ts noted above.
Chemical that is flammable with water. Stanley Howell Program Manager Chemical Safety 609-258-2711. Steve Elwood Associate Director for Laboratory Safety 609-258-6271. Excerpt from ERG Guide 115 Gases - Flammable.
Dry chemical or CO2. Water spray or fog. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. Do not direct water at source of.

Excerpt from ERG Guide 130 Flammable Liquids Water-Immiscible Noxious. As an immediate precautionary measure isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters 150 feet in all directions.
Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters 1000 feet. If tank rail car or tank truck is involved in a fire ISOLATE for 800 meters 12 mile in all directions. UPS Chemical Table - 49 CFR Version Ground and Air Packages.

Use Class D extinguisher eg Met-L-X or dry sand. Aluminum and its Alloys especially powders Acid or alkaline solutions ammonium persulfate and water chlorates chlorinated compounds nitrates and organic compounds in nitratenitrate salt baths. Chemical Abstract Service CAS Number The CAS number is a systematic number assigned to the chemical compound.
Include this number on the waste packing form. Environmental Protection Agency EPA Number. The EPA number designated the primary hazard of a chemical according to the following guidelines.
Cyclohexanone also known as oxocyclohexane pimelic ketone ketohexamethylene cyclohexyl ketone or ketocyclohexane is a six-carbon cyclic molecule with a ketone functional groupIt is a colorless oily liquid with an acetone-like smell. Because exposure to the 25-chemical mixture via the drinking water resulted in decreased water and feed consumption restricted deionized water and feed controls Restricted Water were included. On d 14 rats were gavaged with 0 00375 005 0075 or 015 mL CCl4kg and hepatic and renal toxicity assessed 24 hr later.
Little or no hepatic and renal toxicity was observed in rats exposed to. Separate from flammable and combustible materials. Sodium hypochlorite potassium chlorate peroxides nitrates.
Separate from reducing agents flammables and combustibles. Store in dry cool location protect from water fire sprinkler. Sodium metal potassium metal lithium metal.
Separate from all aqueous solution and. Initially assign each chemical to broad hazard classes for example. Flammable corrosive acids and bases reactive oxidizer or reducer special hazard airwater reactive peroxide forming chemical store at reduced temperature or under an inert atmosphere highly toxic.
Chemicals that possess more than one hazard ie oxidizer and. Purple-K also known as PKP is a dry-chemical fire suppression agent used in some dry chemical fire extinguishers. It is the second most effective dry chemical in fighting class B flammable liquid fires after Monnex potassium allophanate and can be used against some energized electrical equipment fires USA class C fires.
It has about 45 times more effectiveness against class B fires. Creosote is a category of carbonaceous chemicals formed by the distillation of various tars and pyrolysis of plant-derived material such as wood or fossil fuel. They are typically used as preservatives or antiseptics.
Some creosote types were used historically as a treatment for components of seagoing and outdoor wood structures to prevent rot eg bridgework and railroad ties see image. Environment Health and Safety. 395 Pine Tree Road Suite 210 Ithaca NY 14850.
607 255-8200 Contact EHS. Chemical cargoes can be very dangerous most of them being flammable andor toxic some of them extremely so. The IBC Code defines three types of chemical tankers.
ST1 ST2 and ST3. - ST1 is a chemical tanker intended to transport most dangerous products which require maximum preventive measures to preclude an escape of such cargo. Flammable Liquid and Vapor.
Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire. Above flash point vapor-air mixtures are explosive within flammable limi ts noted above. Sealed containers may rupture when heated.
Sensitive to static discharge. Water spray dry chemical alcohol foam or carbon dioxide. Firefighters should use standard protective e quipment and in enclosed spaces self-contained breathing apparatus SCBA.
Use water spray to cool fire exposed surfaces and to protect personnel. Vapors are flammable and h eavier than air. Vapors may travel across the ground and reach.
Never direct water jet straight at liquid ammonia. For small fires use dry chemical or carbon dioxide. For large fires use water spray fog or regular foam.
Move containers from the fire area if possible to do so without risk to personnel. Do not get water inside containers. Damaged cylinders should be handled by.
Powered by FlexBook textbook Platform CK-12 Foundation 2021. Ethanol mixes easily with water and many organic compounds and makes an effective solvent for use in paints lacquers and varnish as well as personal care and household cleaning products. As an additive to cleaning products ethanol is also used as a preservative because it is effective in knocking out organisms that could pose a danger to consumers.
Chemical Material Risk Management Directorate. AFFF is a fire suppressant used to extinguish flammable liquid fires such as fuel fires. The Department of Defense DoD uses AFFF in shipboard and shore facility fire suppression systems fire fighting vehicles and at fire training facilities.
AFFF is purchased as a concentrate typically referred to as 3 or 6 Type 3 or Type. Add the chemical slowly to the water and ensure complete mixing. Be sure to wear protective gloves goggles and clothing to avoid skin and eye contact with the chemical.
Store sodium hydroxide in a cool dry place away from flammable materials. Individuals on a low sodium diet should consult a doctor before installing an injection system. Use manufacturer specifications to compare.
