Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 120 °
Flammable Limits: LEL: 1.2 Vol. % UEL: 7 Vol.%

Auto-ignition point: ND
Fire Extinguishing Media: Use appropriate extinguishing media.

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus that is NIOSH approved.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Though the mixture contains peroxide, there is no risk of explosion. If excess accelerator is added, a high exothermic reaction may result. This is only a risk if the container holding the mixture is not vented.

Hazardous combustion products: Oxides of carbon, acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
