5.04 lbs/ gal Pale straw color. Mild, bland, pleasant odor.
G. REACTIVITY
This product is stable and will not react violently with water. Hazardous polymerization will not occur. Avoid contact with strong
oxidants such as liquid chlorine, concentrated oxygen, sodium hypochlorite or calcium hypochlorite.
H. SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Shut off and eliminate all ignition sources. Kep people away. Recover free product. Add sand, earth or other suitable absorbent to spill
area. Minimize breathing vapors. Minimize skin contact. Ventilate cofined spaces. Open all windows and doors. Continue to observe
precautions for volatile, flammable vapors from absorbed material.
I. PROTECTION AND PRECAUTIONS
VENTILATION
Use only with ventilation sufficient to prevent exceeding recommended exposure limit or buildup of explosive
concentrations of vapor in air. Use explosion proof equipment. No smoking or open lights.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
Use supplied-air respiratory protection in confined or enclosed spaces, if needed.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Use chemical resistant gloves, if needed, to avoid prolonged or repeated skin contact.
EYE PROTECTION
Use splash goggles or face shield when eye contact may occur.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Use chemical resistant apron or other impervious clothing, if needed, to avoid contaminating regular clothing which could
result in prolonged or repeated skin contact.
WORK PRACTICES/ ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Keep containers and storage containers closed when not in use. Do not store near heat, sparks, flames, or strong oxidants.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
Minimize breathing vapor or mist. Avoid prolonged or repeated contact with skin. Remove contaminated clothing; launder
or dry-clean before reuse. Remove contaminated shoes and thoroughly clean and dry before reuse. Cleanse skin
thoroughly after contact, before breaks and meals, and at the end of work period. Product is readily removed from skin by
