cramps and diarrhea followed by vomiting.
Nose Coughing, choking, or breathing difficulties could occur with overexposure.
Eye: Liquid or mist may cause irritation.
Skin: Repeated or prolonged contact can cause irritation.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY nose, mouth, skin, eyes

Section 5 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
UEL = ND %
Flash Point (COC) ...............440掳 F (226掳 C) Flammable Limits...........LEL = ND
Autoignition temperature .......690掳 F (365掳 C) NFPA 0-1-0-NA
Extinguishing Media Carbon Dioxide, Foam, Dry Chemical, Water Fog. Using water to cool exposed containers
may be useful.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures Use equipment or shielding to protect personnel against rupturing or venting
containers. Cooling containers with water streams may be helpful and will knock down vapors. Wear Self Contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Water or foam may cause frothing. Water spray may be used to flush spill away from
exposure. Prevent runoff from entering streams, sewer, or drinking water supply.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards Treat as an oil fire. Water may be ineffective and could spread the fuel
source. Dense smoke may be generated.
Section 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled Remove sources of ignition. Use protective
equipment consistent with the situation. Pick up the spill on absorbent material; store in closed containers for proper
disposal. Remove residue to prevent a slippery condition developing. It is slippery on walkways. Do not let
contaminated liquid get to drains, sewers, public water source, or rainfall. Do not puncture or burn containers.
Waste Disposal Methods Consult Federal, State, and Local regulations. Do not puncture or burn containers. Give
empty, leaking, or full containers to a disposal service equipped to handle and dispose of such containers.
Section 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Storage - Keep drum sealed at all times. Avoid pump cavitation, due to air entrapment, store in warm room one
day before pumping. Store in non-hazardous area at about 70掳 F (20掳 C). Store in closed and labeled containers
away from heat, sparks, open flame, or oxidizing materials. NFPA Class IIIB storage.
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage Store in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight. Do not puncture,
burn, or store above 120掳 F (49掳 C).
Spray Applications Where exposure exceeds the TLV, use a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator, goggles, rubber
gloves, and protective clothing.
Maintenance Precautions Do not remove or deface label.
Handling Wash after handling, and before eating, drinking, or using tobacco products.
Other Precautions Read and follow directions and cautions on the container label, and any accompanying
literature. Spills could make floors slippery. Use housekeeping and work rules to prevent slipping. Decomposition
vapors may collect in low areas. Clean up spills promptly. Monitor floors, in spill potential areas for accumulation;
clean as needed.

Section 8 鈥? EXPOSURE CONTROLS 鈥? PERSONAL PROTECTION
GENERAL Usually local exhaust is not required. General room ventilation may be adequate to maintain
components below TLV/PEL, if handled at ambient temperatures, or in covered equipment. Local exhaust
ventilation or other engineering controls may be required, if ambient temperatures are exceeded, or if used in
operations without good air circulation. It is good practice to limit exposure to any mold release to the OSHA oil mist
exposure limit of 5 mg/m3 TWA.
Maintain enough ventilation to prevent fire/flash hazard from local accumulation of vapors, especially near sources
of high heat, electric arcs or static-electric sparks. NOTE vapors are heavier than air and could collect below the
area where the product is sprayed, or could travel long distances along floor to be a health or safety issue
elsewhere.
Apron or other body covering is recommended where there is a possibility of regular work clothing becoming
contaminated with the product. All soiled or dirty clothing and personal protective equipment should be cleaned
before reuse.
Respiratory Protection If the exposure limit is exceeded, an approved organic vapor mask should be used (consult
your safety equipment supplier). If exposures exceed limits by less than a factor of ten, use a NIOSH approved, 陆
mask facepiece respirator for particulate matter. If exposures exceed 10 times the recommended limits, consult a
professional industrial hygienist or your respiratory protective equipment supplier for selection of the proper
equipment.
Protective Gloves Where prolonged or repeated contact with the product is likely, use polymeric materials,
neoprene, etc. for personal protective equipment, gloves and clothing.
Other Protective Equipment If contact with a mist or spray is likely, eye protection is recommended. Chemical
Monogoggles or safety glasses with side shields, and a face shield will provide protection in most situations.
Other Engineering Controls To determine exposure levels, monitoring should be performed. Eye bath and safety
shower station should be available.
Work Practices Use enough ventilation to maintain the concentration of the product and its components below
their exposure limits. Avoid long-term or repeated contact. Clothing containing product should be removed and
laundered before re-use. Sudden release of hot vapor or mist from process equipment operating at elevated
temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into hot equipment under vacuum, may result in decomposition
without obvious source of heat. All uses of this product in elevated-temperature processes must be thoroughly
evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
Hygienic Practices As with using any liquid product, avoid contact with skin and avoid breathing vapors, do not eat,
drink, or smoke in work area; wash hands prior to eating, drinking or using restroom after handling or using. Any
liquid product can contaminate tobacco, causing illness (from inhaling components heated in tobacco smoke or
ingested from handling tobacco and/or food products).

Waste Disposal Methods Liquid may be mixed with inert absorbent materials to point of being a non-liquid and
disposed of as an oily material, unless local regulations prohibit. If any organic material is used for absorbing or
cleaning, put into sealed, air tight, containers to prevent spontaneous combustion. Give leaking, or full, containers to
a disposal service equipped to handle such residue containers. Observe all warnings and precautions listed for the
product. Observe proper safety and handling. Do not allow empty containers to be used for any purpose except to
store and ship product. Recovered liquids may be re-used if compatible with users processes. Contaminated
material may be disposed of in a permitted waste management facility suitable for the contamination. Do not
puncture or burn containers. Reclamation/recycling is encouraged where possible. Where reclamation is not
practical, this product may be incinerated where permitted by Federal, State, County/Provincial, and Local
regulations. Never dispose by means of public sewers or drainage.
