| SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
FLASH POINT: 7 C LOWER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
(SETAFLASH CLOSED CUP) UPPER EXPLOSIVE LIMIT: N.A.
AUTOIGNITION TEMPERATURE: No data
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA:ALCOHOL FOAM,CO2,DRY CHEMICAL,FOAM,WATER FOG
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors are heavier than air, and may
travel along the ground to be reignited at locations distant from the
source; flashback of flame may occur. Containers exposed to fire may
explode.
SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Treat as petroleum fire.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES |
|=========================================================================|
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Reclaim clean
material. Remove sources of ignition. Place contaminated material in
covered waste container and dispose of in accordance with local and
national regulations.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE |
|=========================================================================|
HANDLING: Use only in a well ventilated area. Follow all MSDS/label
precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain product
residues. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. FOR INDUSTRIAL USE
ONLY.
STORAGE: Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Keep container closed
when not in use.
|=========================================================================|
| SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION |
|=========================================================================|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: General ventilation usually adequate. Supplemental
ventilation equipment should be approved for use with flammable vapors.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If exposure levels are unknown, if levels exceed
recommended safe exposure limit, or if effects occur, use approved
respirator in accordance with regulations and manufacturer's
recommendations.
SKIN PROTECTION: Clean clothing to cover skin. Rubber or synthetic
gloves.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Eye wash.
