Suitable Extinguishing Media: Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide; choose medium suitable for surrounding fire
Unsuitable Media: Avoid direct water jet on burning material where powder may spread
Specific Hazards: Product does not burn readily; toxic fumes may evolve if heated to decomposition (carbon oxides, magnesium oxide)
Special Equipment: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective gear
Advice for Firefighters: Remove product from fire area if safe; cool exposed containers with water spray
Personal Precautions: Avoid generation of dust; ventilate area; use personal protection, including dust mask and gloves
Protective Equipment: Use safety goggles, gloves, and dust mask or respirator (P2 or N95 rated)
Emergency Procedures: Evacuate unnecessary personnel; isolate spill from ignition sources
Environmental Precautions: Prevent entry to sewers or watercourses
Containment and Cleanup: Sweep or vacuum up material; avoid creating dust; place in suitable, labeled container for disposal; wash spill area thoroughly with water after cleanup
Handling: Avoid contact with eyes and skin; minimize dust formation; use with adequate ventilation or extraction; wash hands after handling; do not eat, drink, or smoke during use
