FLAMMABLE LIMITS:Lower-1.9%, Upper-12.6%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:Dry Chemical or Foam.
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:Fight fire upwind. Dike fire area to prevent runoff. Use as little water as possible. Use water to keep containers cool since they may explode, If a leak or spill has not ignited, use a water spray to disperse the vapors. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from fire exposures. Do not put out fire with water. Stop source of fuel.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:Fumes from fire are hazardous and contain toxic oxides of phosphorus, corrosive hydrogen chloride, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and various hydrocarbons. Vapors from the solvent will travel along ground and be ignited by an ignition source a distance away. Never use torch on or near drum because product or empty drum may ignite. Metal containers should be grounded during transfer. Eliminate ignition sources while fogging.

V. HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION

ROUTES OF ENTRY:Inhalation: Yes, Skin: Yes, Ingestion: Yes
HEALTH HAZARDS:See Below
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE:ACUTE-Acute cholinesterase depression may be evidenced by headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, excessive sweating, salivation and tearing, constricted pupils, blurred vision, tightness in chest, weakness, muscle twitching and confusion. In extreme cases, unconscousness, convulsions, severe respiratory depression and death may occur. CHRONIC-Repeated exposures to small doses of DDVP and other organophosphates may lower the cholinesterase to levels where the above symptoms of acute overexposure are observed.
