Fire Hazards in Presence of Various

Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Flammable in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat. Non-flammable in presence of shocks.
Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances:
Risks of explosion of the product in presence of mechanical impact: Not available. Risks of explosion of the product in
presence of static discharge: Not available. Slightly explosive in presence of heat.
Fire Fighting Media and Instructions:
Flammable solid. SMALL FIRE: Use DRY chemical powder. LARGE FIRE: Use water spray or fog. Cool containing vessels
with water jet in order to prevent pressure build-up, autoignition or explosion.
Special Remarks on Fire Hazards:
Interaction of calcium and silicon is violently incndescent above 1050 deg. C after a short delay. Amorphous or crystalline
silicon both react exothermically when heated with alkali-metal carbonates attaining incandescence and evolving carbon
monoxide.
Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards:
Material in powder form, capable of creating a dust explosion. Mixture of silicon, aluminum, and lead oxide explodes when
heated.
