| Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture |
Highly flammable liquid and vapor. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.
In a fire or if heated, a pressure increase will occur and the container may burst, with the
risk of a subsequent explosion. The vapor/gas is heavier than air and will spread along
the ground. Vapors may accumulate in low or confined areas or travel a considerable
distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
