Section V- Fire and Explosion

NFPA RATINGS:                Health -1                                Flammability -2     Reactivity-0

                                                Flash Point :> 100°F     IGNITION TEMPERATURE >500°F

                                Upper Flammable LIMIT 36%  LOWER FLAMMABLE Limit: 6%

                                                (methanol)                                                             (methanol)

Water soluble, flammable liquid fires may be extinguished by dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide. Water may be used to keep fire exposed containers cool, but may be ineffective on flames. Methanol presents a moderate explosion and fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or sparks. Methanol flames are invisible in daylight. (See NFPA Guide 325M)
