Fire-fighting measures

Non-flammable
Extinguishing media
suitable methods of extinction
in the event of a fire, use: all means of extinction can be used
unsuitable methods of extinction

Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture
a fire will often produce a thick black smoke. Exposure to decomposition products may be hazardous to health.
Do not breathe in smoke.
In the event of a fire, the following may be formed:
carbon monooxide (CO) carbon dioxide (CO2) nitrogen oxide (NO) nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
Advice for firefighters
due to the toxicity of the gas emitted on thermal decomposition of the products, fire-fighting personnel are to be equipped with autonomous insulating breathing appparatus.
