Guidance: Dry Chemical fire suppression is generally recommended for Ethylene Chlorohydrin (C2H5ClO). *Please consult your raw material manufacturer's safety data sheet (SDS) and your local authority having jurisdiction to verify the most adequate fire suppression extinguisher for your specific storage or use.
Additional extinguishing notes: Water spray may be used to extinguish the fire because the material can be cooled below its flash point. Alcohol foam, carbon dioxide, and dry chemical may be used.
Always confirm extinguishing agents against the manufacturer SDS and your authority having jurisdiction before specifying a rental building fire-suppression package.
