SECTION 5: Firefighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media
Excerpt from ERG Guide 133 [Flammable Solids]: SMALL FIRE: Dry chemical, CO2, sand, earth, water spray or regular foam. LARGE FIRE: Water spray, fog or regular foam. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Fire Involving Metal Pigments or Pastes (e.g. "Aluminum Paste") Aluminum Paste fires should be treated as a combustible metal fire. Use DRY sand, graphite powder, dry sodium chloride-based extinguishers, G-1? or Met-L-X? powder. Also, see ERG Guide 170. FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS: Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. (ERG, 2016)
Specific hazards arising from the chemical
Excerpt from ERG Guide 133 [Flammable Solids]: Flammable/combustible material. May be ignited by friction, heat, sparks or flames. Some may burn rapidly with flare-burning effect. Powders, dusts, shavings, borings, turnings or cuttings may explode or burn with explosive violence. Substance may be transported in a molten form at a temperature that may be above its flash point. May re-ignite after fire is extinguished. (ERG, 2016)
Special protective actions for fire-fighters
Use water in large amounts, foam, alcohol-resistant foam, carbon dioxide.
SECTION 6: Accidental release measures
Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Sweep spilled substance into covered containers. If appropriate, moisten first to prevent dusting. Personal protection: P2 filter respirator for harmful particles.

SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity
Reactivity
Decomposes on burning. This produces toxic fumes.
Chemical stability
no data available
Possibility of hazardous reactions
2-NITRONAPHTHALENE is non-flammable but combustible (flash point 160°C). Dust forms explosive mixtures with air. Heating or burning releases toxic and corrosive gases. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Can serve as an oxidizing agent and so react with reducing agents such as hydrides, sulfides and nitrides. Such reactions may be vigorous and may culminate in a detonation. May explode in the presence of strong bases such as sodium or potassium hydroxide even in the presence of water or organic solvents.
Conditions to avoid
no data available
Incompatible materials
For "Nitrates" in general: Aluminum, cyanides, esters, phosphorus, tin chlorides, thiocyanates, sodium hypophosphite

SECTION 13: Disposal considerations
Disposal methods
The material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
