Lower Limits:1.1
Upper Limits:12.7
Extinguishing Media:DRY CHEMICAL, ALCOHOL FOAM OR CARBON DIOXIDE. DO
    NOT USE A SOLID STREAM OF WATER, SINCE THE STREAM WILL SCATTER AND
    SPREAD THE FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, WEAR FULL PROTECTIVE
    CLOTHING AND NIOSH-APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS WITH
    FULL FACEPIECE OPEATED IN THE PRESSURE DEMAND OR OTHER POSITIVE
    MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:WATER SPRAY MAY BE USED TO KEEP FIRE
    EXPOSED CONTAINERS COOL, DILUTE SPILLS TO NONFLAMMABE MIXTURES.
    PROTECT PERSONNEL ATTEMPTING TO STOP LEAK AND DISPERSE VAPORS.
    ABOVE FLASH POINT, VAPOR-AIR-MIXTURE S ARE EXPLOSIVE WITHIN
    FLAMMABLE LIMITSNOTED ABOVE.
