SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Move container from fire area if can be done without risk. Apply cooling water to sides of containers that are exposed
to flames until well after fire is out. Firefighters must be equipped to prevent breathing of vapors of products of
combustion. Utilize NIOSH/MSHA approved self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing.
SECTION 5 - HEALTH INFORMATION
PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE AND TARGET ORGANS
Inhalation, skin absorption, ingestion, skin and eye contact. May affect eyes, skin, respiratory system, central
nervous system, hematopoietic system, blood, kidneys, liver, lymphoid system.
SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE

SECTION 7 - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS LEAKED OR SPILLED
Eliminate all ignition sources. Ventilate area of spill or leak. Do not walk through or touch spilled material. Runoff to
sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Keep unnecessary people away; isolate hazard area and deny entry. Stay
upwind. Keep out of low areas. Absorb with an inert material such as sand, soil, or vermiculite. Sweep up and place
in a labeled container and seal.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD
Dispose of in accordance with Federal, State, and local regulations.
SECTION 8 - PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
NIOSH/MSHA approved respiratory protection to protect against organic vapors.
VENTILATION
Local or general mechanical ventilation to maintain exposures below the TLV/PEL.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES
Nitrile, Neoprene, or other impervious gloves.
EYE PROTECTION
Chemical splash goggles (ANSI Z87.1 1979)
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT
Apron, arm sleeves, boots, and other protective equipment, as necessary to prevent skin and eye contact. Eyewash
and shower facilities should be available for use in an emergency.
