EXPLANATORY NOTES

Product name(column a)

The product names may not be identical with the names given in previous issues of the codes (for explanation see Index of Chemicals). Flashpoint (column b)
The flashpoint determined by a closed-cup method is listed when available for chemicals having a flashpoint below 60&degC. Some flashpoints could only be found in the literature which had been determined by an open-cup method or by a method which was not specified. These fiashpoints are shown in brackets ( ). In general, a closed-cup determination will yield a figure lower than that obtained from an open-cup determination. NF means non-flammable. Fire-extinguishing media (column c)A: alcohol-resistant form B: regular foam, encompasses all foams that are not of an alcohol-resistant type, including fluoroprotein and aqueous-film-forming foam (AFFF) C: water-spray D: dry chemical No: no special media recommended Note: 1. The information given for fire-extinguishing media is only for guidance and does not constitute any mandatory requirement. 2. Where the media given is D + C, water should be applied to cool down the cargo, cargo tank and equipment to help prevent re-ignition after the use of dry chemical media to extinguish the fire.
