SECTION IV FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flash Point: 56掳F Tag Closed Cup
Extinguishing Media: NOTE: Individuals should perform only those firefighting procedures for
which they have been trained.
Special Firefighting Procedures and Precautions: Use dry chemical, "alcohol" foam, or carbon
dioxide; water may be ineffective, but water should be used to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
If a leak or spill has not ignited, use water spray to disperse the vapors and to protect men
attempting to stop a leak. Water spray may be used to flush spills away from exposures and to
dilute spills to non-flammable mixtures.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing
apparatus in the positive pressure mode with a full facepiece when there is a possibility of exposure
to smoke, fumes or hazardous decomposition products.

SECTION V HEALTH HAZARD DATA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Aid Instructions for Accidental Exposure:
If on Skin: May cause irritation and defatting of skin on prolonged contact. Immediately flush
affected area with plenty of cool water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Get medical attention immediately.
If in Eyes: Liquid or vapor may cause irritation. Immediately flush affected area with plenty of
cool water. Eyes should be flushed for at least 15 minutes. Get medical attention immediately.

SECTION VII SPILL AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steps to be taken in the event of a spill or discharge: Wear appropriate respiratory protection
and protective clothing. Contain spill material. Transfer to secure containers. Where necessary,
collect using absorbent media. In the event of an uncontrolled release of this material, the user
should determine if the release is reportable under applicable laws and regulations.
Disposal Procedures: All recovered material should be packaged, labeled, transported, and
disposed or reclaimed in conformance with applicable laws and regula tion and in conformance with
good engineering practices.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION VIII INDUSTRIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ventilation: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep vapor and mist levels as
low as possible.
Respiratory Protection: Where exposure is likely to exceed acceptable criteria use
NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection equipment. Respirator should be selected based on
the form and concentration of contaminant in air and in accordance with OSHA (29 CFR
1910.134).
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses meeting the specifications of ANSI Standard Z87.1 where no
contact with the eye is anticipated. Chemical safety goggles meeting the specifications of ANSI
Standard Z87.1 should be worn whenever there is the possibility of splashing or other contact with
the eyes.
Skin Protection: Wear gloves and protective clothing which are in impervious to this product for
the duration of anticipated exposure if there is potential for skin contact.
