    SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:ABOVE FLASH POINT, VAPOR AIR MIXTURES ARE
    EXPLOSIVE WITHIN FLAMMABLE LIMITS . CONTACT WITH STRONG OXIDIZERS
    MAY CAUSE FIRE AND EXPLOSIONS.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:REMOVE ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION. USE
    NON-SPARKING TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT. WEAR PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND
