NFPA fire hazard : 0 - Materials that will not burn.
NFPA reactivity : 2 - Normally unstable and readily undergo violent
decomposition but do not detonate. Also: may react
violently with water or may form potentially explosive
mixtures with water.
NFPA specific hazard : W - Unusual reactivity with water. This indicates a potential
