SECTION IV -- FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD DATA

Flash Point: Not Combustible
Auto Ignition Temperature N/A	Flammability Limits in Air % by Volume:	N/A

Extinguishing Media: Dry Chemical Carbon Dioxide, Water Fog, Water

Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Sulfuric Acid Fumes, Sulfur Dioxide Gas or Carbon Monoxide may be released when acid decomposes. Wear NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus.

Unusual Hazards: Water applied to sulfuric acid generates heat and causes acid to splatter. Wear full-cover acid resistant clothing. Sulfuric acid reacts violently with metals, nitrates, chlorates, carbides, fulminates, picrates and other organic materials. Reacts with most metals to yield explosive/flammable hydrogen gas. This reaction is intensified when sulfuric acid is diluted with water to form battery electrolyte.
