I.Role of Fire-fighting Agents in SDS

In the fifth section of the SDS on "Firefighting Measures," relevant requirements should be described to ensure that the SDS provides a firefighting guidance plan in case of fire, including fire-fighting agents, fire-fighting methods, and fire-fighting precautions.

Because workers or SDS users are unlikely to be fire-fighting experts and may not be able to make the right choice in case of a fire, choosing the wrong fire-fighting agent (i.e., one that reacts with flammable materials) would be disastrous. In this article, we will teach you how to choose suitable and unsuitable fire-fighting agents in the fifth section of the SDS.

Today, we will focus on "Class E Fire and Its Fire-fighting Agents."
