carbon monoxide.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Carbon dioxide, water, water fog, dry chemical, chemical foam
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Self - contained respiratory equipment; cool containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible explosion when exposed to extreme heat.
Caution - material is combustible!
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Closed containers can explode due to buildup of pressure when exposed to extreme heat.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
Smoke, fumes, oxides of carbon
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: COMBUSTIBLE - Evacuate and ventilate area; remove all sources
of sparks, ignition and open flames; confine and absorb into approved absorbent; place material into approved containers for disposal; do not
wash to sewer or waterway.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: This material is combustible. It should be stored in tightly closed containers
in a cool, well ventilated area. Vapor may form explosive mixtures in air. All sources of ignition should be controlled. Keep this and other
chemicals out of reach of children. Avoid inhaling concentrated fumes or vapors.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment. See Section 2 for Component Exposure Guidelines.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None required while threshold limits (Section 2) are kept below maximum allowable concentrations; if TWA
exceeds limits, NIOSH approved respirator must be worn. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149 for complete regulations.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Neoprene or rubber gloves with cuffs.
EYE PROTECTION: Goggles with side shields; safety eyebath nearby. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Coveralls, apron, or other equipment should be worn to minimize skin contact.
WORK / HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Practice safe workplace habits. Minimize body contact with this, as well as all chemicals in general.
