* * * Section 4 - First Aid Measures * * *
First Aid: Eyes
Flush eyes with large amounts of water for 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if eye irritation develops or persists.
First Aid: Skin
Remove contaminated clothing. For skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water. Get medical attention if skin disorder
develops.
First Aid: Ingestion
If the material is swallowed, seek immediate medical attention or advice -- Do not induce vomiting.
First Aid: Inhalation
If affected, remove individual to fresh air. If the affected person is not breathing, apply artificial respiration. Seek medical
attention if symptoms persist. If overcome by vapor from hot product, immediately remove to fresh air and call a physician.

Flash Point: 120 潞F (48.9 潞C) by Pensky Martens Closed Cup OSHA Flammability Classification: Combustible
Upper Flammable Limit (UFL): Not available Lower Flammable Limit (LFL): Not available
General Fire Hazards
Fire and explosion hazards are moderate when this product is exposed to heat or flame. Liquid can burn upon heating to
temperatures at or above the flash point. Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground to some distant source of
ignition and flash back.
Hazardous Combustion Products
Irritating and toxic gases or fumes may be released during a fire. Upon combustion, this product may yield oxides of nitrogen,
carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and/or other low molecular weight hydrocarbons.
Extinguishing Media
Dry chemical, foam, carbon dioxide, water fog. Use water to cool fire-exposed containers and to protect personnel. Direct water
spray or foam may cause frothing and spattering. If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse vapors and to flush
spills away from exposure.
Fire Fighting Equipment/Instructions
Firefighters should wear full-face, self contained breathing apparatus and impervious protective clothing. Firefighters should
avoid inhaling any combustion products.

Containment Procedures
Stop the flow of material, if this can be done without risk.
Clean-Up Procedures
Absorb with non-flammable suitable absorbent such as sand or earth. Scoop up used absorbent into drums or other appropriate
container.
Evacuation Procedures
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.
Special Procedures
Eliminate all sources of ignition or flammables that may come into contact with a spill of this material. Surfaces may become
slippery after spillage. Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not allow the spilled product to
enter public drainage systems or open water courses. If product is spilled, notify appropriate authorities at the local, state, federal,
and provincial levels.

* * * Section 7 - Handling and Storage * * *
Handling Procedures
Avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact with this material. Avoid getting this material into contact with your eyes. Avoid the
generation of mists. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use this product with adequate ventilation. Discard any shoes or clothing
items that cannot be decontaminated.
Storage Procedures
Do not store near heat, sparks, open flame or strong oxidizing agents. Do not store this material in open or unlabeled containers.
Store drums in a covered area with secondary containment. "Empty" containers retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and
can be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static
electricity, or other sources of ignition; they may explode. Follow appropriate grounding procedures.
* * * Section 8 - Exposure Controls / Personal Protection * * *

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Wear safety glasses. Wear chemical goggles or faceshield if mist is likely to occur.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Use impervious gloves. Wear oil-impervious garments if contact is unavoidable.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
In the event of excessive exposure to vapors/mists/fumes, use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory equipment. Respirator should
be selected on the basis of form and concentration of contaminant.
