5 FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES
Electrolyte is not combustible
Contact with certain metals e.g. zinc, lead, tin, aluminium and magnesium and their
alloys can generate hydrogen gas (explosive with air).
Containers close to a fire must be moved or cooled with water to reduce risk of bursting
6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
