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.

DOT Class: Toxic liquid

Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: CAUTION: Surface covered with product may become slippery. Shut off all sources of ignition. Adequately ventilate area, use personal protection clothing and breathing apparatus if a mist is released. Absorb with inert material (e.g. sand, diatomaceous earth, acid absorbent, universal absorbent or sawdust). Keep away from drains.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local Regulations.

Section 7: Handling and Storage
