Will form explosive mixtures with air. Silane willignite spontaneously in air. Those substances designated with a "P" maypolymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire. Vapors fromliquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground.Vapors may travel to source <strong>of</strong> ignition and flash back. Containers mayexplode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. /Vinyl chloride; vinylchloride, inhibited; or vinyl chloride, stabilized/ [U.S. Department <strong>of</strong>Transportation. 2000 Emergency Response Guidebook.

Large Fires: Water spray, fog or regularfoam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Fireinvolving tanks: Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hoseholders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities <strong>of</strong>water until well after fire is out. Do not direct water at source <strong>of</strong> leakor safety devices; icing may occur. Withdraw immediately in case <strong>of</strong> risingsound from venting safety devices or discoloration <strong>of</strong> tank. ALWAYS stayaway from tanks engulfed in fire. For massive fire, use unmanned hoseholders or monitor nozzles, if this is impossible withdraw from area andlet fire burn. /Vinyl chloride; vinyl chloride, inhibited; or vinylchloride, stabilized/ [U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation. 2000 EmergencyResponse Guidebook.

All equipment used when handling <strong>the</strong> productmust be grounded. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Do not touch orwalk through spilled material. Do not direct water at spill or source <strong>of</strong>leak. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoidallowing water run<strong>of</strong>f to contact spilled material.
