______________________________________________________________________
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES (Continued)
______________________________________________________________________
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Shut down motors, pumps,
electrical service and eliminate all sources of ignition. Use water
spray to keep fire exposed containers cool to avoid pressure buildup.
Wear NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained breathing
apparatus and full protective clothing.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD:
FLAMMABLE LIQUID.
Over-heated drums may rupture. Heavy vapors can travel to source of
ignition and flash back.
SENSITIVITY TO MECHANICAL IMPACT:
None known.
SENSITIVITY TO STATIC DISCHARGE:
Electrostatic charge may build up during handling. Grounding of
equipment is recommended.
______________________________________________________________________
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
______________________________________________________________________
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS:
Evacuate unnecessary personnel and eliminate all sources of ignition.
Follow protective measures provided under Personal Protection in
Section 8.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS:
Contain liquids and prevent discharges to streams or sewers, control
or stop the loss of volatile materials to the atmosphere. Large leaks
may require environmental consideration and possible evacuation. Do
not apply water to the leak. Spills or releases should be reported,
if required, to the appropriate local, state and federal agencies.
METHODS FOR CLEANING UP:
If a significant spill occurs, evacuate area. If exposure conditions
warrant, wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus and full protective clothing. Shut off electrical
service and protect from ignition. Contain spill or release with a
dike to prevent flow into sewers or streams. Pump into container for
disposal or reclamation. Soak up small spills with absorbent
material.

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
______________________________________________________________________
HANDLING:
Avoid breathing vapor, use with adequate ventilation. Wear NIOSH/MSHA
approved respiratory protection if there is potential for exposure
above the exposure limits.
Do not get in eyes, on skin or clothing.
Wear personal protective equipment as described in Exposure
Controls/Personal Protection (Section 8) of the MSDS.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
Keep away from heat, sparks, pilot lights, welding operations and open
flame.
Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas where this material is used.
Ground all equipment.
Avoid contact with high temperature sources, pure oxygen, alkali
metals, strong UV light (welding arcs) as this can cause
decomposition, resulting in toxic and irritating vapors.
Never enter a pit or tank without following safety procedures-never
alone, always with a lifeline and positive pressure supplied air.
Vapors are heavier than air and will tend to collect in low areas.
Avoid use in confined spaces. Areas of poor ventilation could contain
concentrations high enough to cause unconsciousness and death. Use
approved supplied air respirator following manufacturer's
recommendations where vapors may be generated.
Do not reuse containers.
SPECIAL MIXING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS:
Do not allow contact with materials as noted in Section 10.
STORAGE:
Keep container tightly closed and properly labeled.
Store containers in a cool, dry, ventilated, fire resistant area away
from direct heat and separated from oxidizers.
Dike storage containers to contain 110% of tank volume.
Vent indoor tanks to an outside location so escaping vapors will not
contaminate any work areas.
______________________________________________________________________
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
______________________________________________________________________
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Where engineering controls are not feasible use adequate local exhaust
ventilation wherever mist, spray or vapor may be generated.

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION (Continued)
______________________________________________________________________
Provide good room ventilation plus local exhaust at points of emission
and low level floor exhaust in immediate handling area.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY:
For emergencies and unknown concentrations, use NIOSH/MSHA approved
positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. Utilize
respiratory protective equipment in accordance with 29CFR 1910.134
(Respiratory Protection).
EYE/FACE:
Wear chemical safety goggles plus full face shield to protect against
splashing when appropriate (ANSI Z87.1).
SKIN:
Wear chemical resistant gloves such as North Silver Shield庐 or Viton庐.
For limited use, PVC or nitrile gloves may be worn. Silver Shield is
a registered trademark of Siebe North, Inc. Viton is a registered
trademark of E. I. DuPont deNemours and Company, Inc.
OTHER:
Emergency shower and eyewash facility should be in close proximity
(ANSI Z358.1).

Abiotic:
Air (1/2 life) estimate for reaction with OH radicals is 34.9 days
Water(1/2 life) estimates for volatilization range from 0.15 - 4.8 day
Water solubility 250 mg/L
Log Kow 3.01
Koc model estimate based on Log Kow is 1030
This compound has produced moderate toxicity to three aquatic
organisms in laboratory tests. The exposure concentrations in
these tests were difficult to maintain due to this compound's
extreme volatility in water. If released to surface water or
moist soil, this compound is soluble to 250 mg/L. It is unlikely to
biodegrade since volatilization to the atmosphere is the dominant
fate process. BCF data indicate that this material is unlikely to
bioaccumulate to significant levels in organisms. Based on the Koc,
this compound is predicted to have a low mobility in soil. Due
caution should be exercised to prevent the accidental release of this
material to the environment.
