Fire And Explosion Hazards
During a fire, irritating and/or toxic gases and aerosols from the decomposition/combustion products may be
present.
Extinguishing Media
In case of fire, use water spray (fog) foam, dry chemical, or CO2.
Fire Fighting Instructions
In the event of a fire, firefighters should wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained
breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Avoid release to the environment. Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Contain spill and collect with
absorbent material and transfer into suitable containers. Do not flush to sewer or allow to enter waterways. Ventilate
enclosed area.
7. Handling And Storage

Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. Keep containers tightly closed. Protect
from frost, heat, direct sunlight, atmospheric moisture and water.
Work/Hygienic Practices
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Use of a system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee below applicable expsoure
limits. Refer to the current edition of "Industrial Ventilation: A Manual of Recommended Practice" published by
the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists for information on the design, installation, use,

and maintenance of exhaust systems.
Eye/Face Protection
Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
Skin Protection
Chemical-resistant gloves. Lab coat or other work clothing to prevent skin exposure (Long sleeve shirt and long
pants). Launder before reuse.
Respiratory Protection
A respirator protection program that meets 29 CFR 1910.134 requirement must be followed whenever workplace
conditions warrant a respirator's use. In areas where the Permissible Expsosure Limits are exceeded, use a
properly fitted NIOSH-approved respirator.
Other/General Protection
Wash thoroughly after handling.
