See Section 16 for
toxic materials such as various carbon oxides. The Linseed Oil component
Definition of Ratings
of this product may be a skin sensitizer; subsequent exposure to small
amount may cause allergic reaction and so poses a contact hazard to firefighters. This product can float on water and may
travel to distant locations and spread fire. Containers may rupture violently when exposed to fire or excessive heat for
sufficient time.
Explosion Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact: Not sensitive.
Explosion Sensitivity to Static Discharge: In general, materials similar to this product have low electrical conductivities
and therefore the liquid can accumulate static charge by flow, agitation or pouring. The warmed vapour can be ignited
by an electrostatic discharge of sufficient energy.
SPECIAL FIRE-FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Structural firefighters must wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus and full
protective equipment. Chemical resistant clothing may be necessary. Move containers from fire area if it can be done
without risk to personnel. Water spray can be used to cool fire-exposed containers. Avoid getting water into containers
because of the danger of boiling over. Stop leak before attempting to stop the fire. If the leak cannot be stopped, and if
there is no risk to the surrounding area, let the fire burn itself out. Water fog or spray can also be used by trained
firefighters to disperse this product’s vapors and to protect personnel. If possible, prevent runoff water from entering storm
drains, bodies of water, or other environmentally sensitive areas. Rinse contaminated equipment thoroughly with soapy
water before returning such equipment to service.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE RESPONSE: In case of a release, clear the affected area and protect people. Spills will be slippery. Eliminate all
sources of ignition before cleanup begins. Use non-sparking tools. Appropriately trained personnel in proper personal
protective equipment, using pre-planned procedures should respond to uncontrolled releases. The proper personal
protective equipment for incidental releases (e.g., 32-ounce container) should be rubber gloves and goggles. In the event
that cleanup will generate excessive splashes, a face-shield, boots, and chemical resistant body protection should also be
worn. In the event of a non-incidental release (e.g., several 1-gallon containers released in a poorly ventilated area),
minimum Personal Protective Equipment should be Level B: triple-gloves (rubber gloves and nitrile gloves over latex gloves),
chemical resistant suit and boots, hard hat, and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. A fire-retardant suit must be worn over
the chemical resistant suit. Short-term colorimetric detector tubes for the determination of hydrocarbons and petroleum
hydrocarbons are commercially available. Monitor area for combustible vapor levels. Monitoring must indicate less than
10% LEL (refer to Section 5, Fire-fighting Measures) before emergency response personnel are permitted in the area.
Monitoring must indicate that oxygen levels are above 19.5% before anyone is permitted in the area without Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus. Absorb spilled liquid with activated carbon, polypads, or other suitable absorbent materials.
Decontaminate the area thoroughly. Place all spill residue in an appropriate container and seal. Dispose of in accordance
with applicable U.S. Federal, State, or local procedures, or appropriate standards of Canada or EU Member States (see
Section 13, Disposal Considerations).
