| Fire Fighting Measures | Back to Contents | 【Fire Fighting】
Wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Extinguishing media: Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire. | 【Fire Potential】
Mixture of bismuth hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide flammable in air. Low. |
| Accidental Release Measures | Back to Contents | 【Small spills/leaks】
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Clean up spills immediately, using the appropriate protective equipment. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. |
| Stability and Reactivity | Back to Contents | 【Stability】
Stable under normal temperatures and pressures. Absorbs carbon dioxide from the air. Gels on prolonged contact with water. Absorbs acids. When coprecipitated with bismuth hydroxide and reduced by Hydrogen, becomes violently flammable in air. | 【Incompatibilities】
Strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, chlorinated rubber, water. | 【Decomposition】
Aluminum oxide. |
