SECTION IV FIRE & EXPLOSION DATA
FLASH POINT : 110.0掳F (37.8 - 43.3掳C)
EXPLOSIVE LIMIT : (Lowest value of component) Lower - 1.0%
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA : Regular foam or carbon dioxide or dry chemical
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
May form toxic materials: carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, various hydrocarbons, etc.
FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES :
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in the positive
pressure demand mode when fighting fires.
SPECIAL FIRE AND EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS :
Never use welding or cutting torch on or near drum (even empty) because product
(even just residue) can ignite explosively.
All five gallon pails and larger metal containers including tank cars and tank trucks should be grounded
and/or bonded when material is transferred.
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or be moved by ventilation and ignited by heat,
pilot lights, other flames and ignition sources at locations distant from material handling point.
SECTION V HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL : See Section II
EFFECT OF ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE :
EYES : Exposure to liquid or vapor may cause mild eye irritation.
Symptoms may include burning, tearing & redness
SKIN : Exposure may cause skin irritation, prolonged or repeated exposure may dry the skin.
Symptoms may include redness, burning, drying and cracking and skin burns.
INHALATION : Excessive inhalation can cause nasal and respiratory irritation, central nervous system effects including
dizziness, weakness, fatigue, nausea, headache and possible unconsciousness and even death.
INGESTION : Can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Aspiration of material into the lungs can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID TREATMENT:
EYES : If symptoms develop, immediately move individual away from exposure and into fresh air,
flush eyes with water while holding eyelids apart. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
SKIN : Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed areas of skin with soap and water.
Launder contaminated clothing before reuse. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
INHALATION : If affected, remove individual to fresh air. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
If breathing has stopped give artificial respiration, Keep person warm, quiet and get medical attention.
INGESTION : Do not induce vomiting, keep person warm, quiet and get medical attention.
If vomiting occurs spontaneously, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration.
Aspiration of material into the lungs due to vomiting can cause chemical pneumonitis, which can be fatal.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY : Inhalation, skin contact
SECTION VI REACTIVITY DATA
HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION : Cannot occur
INCOMPATIBILITY / AVOID CONTACT WITH : Strong oxidizing agents
STABILITY : Stable
SECTION VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
SMALL SPILL: Absorb liquid on vermiculite, floor absorbent or other absorbent material.
LARGE SPILL: Eliminate all ignition sources (flares, flames including pilot lights, electrical sparks).
Persons not wearing protective equipment should be excluded from area of spill until clean-up has been completed.
Stop spill at source, prevent from entering drains, sewer, streams or other bodies of water. Prevent from spreading.
If runoff occurs, notify authorities as required. Pump or vacuum transfer spilled products to clean containers for recovery.
Absorb unrecoverable product. Transfer contaminated absorbent, soil and other material to containers for disposal.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Dispose of in accordance with all local, state and federal regulations.
SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION : If workplace exposure limit(s) of product or any component is exceeded (see section II)
(SPECIFY TYPE) a NIOSH/MSHA approved air supplied respirator is advised in absence of proper
environmental control. OSHA regulations also permit other NIOSH/MSHA
respirators (negative pressure type) under specified conditions (see your safety
equipment supplier). Engineering or administrative controls should be implemented to
reduce exposure.
VENTILATION : Provide sufficient mechanical (general and/or local exhaust) ventilation
to maintain exposure below TLV(s).
PROTECTIVE GLOVES : Wear resistant gloves (consult your safety equipment supplier)
EYE PROTECTION : Chemical splash goggles in compliance with OSHA regulations are advised,
however, OSHA regulations also permit other type safety glasses
(consult your safety equipment supplier)
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: To prevent repeated or prolonged skin contact, wear impervious clothing and boots
SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS OR OTHER COMMENTS
PRECAUTIONS : Containers may be hazardous when empty. Since emptied containers retain product residues
(vapor, liquid and/or solid), all hazard precautions given in this data sheet must be observed.
WARNING : Sudden release of hot organic chemical vapors or mists from process equipment operating at elevated
temperature and pressure, or sudden ingress of air into vacuum equipment, may result in ignitions without the presence
of obvious ignition sources. Published 鈥渁utoignition鈥? or 鈥渋gnition鈥? temperature values cannot be treated as safe operating
temperatures in chemical processes without analysis of the actual process conditions. Any use of this product in elevated
temperature processes should be thoroughly evaluated to establish and maintain safe operating conditions.
Hydrocarbon solvents are basically non-conductors of electricity and can become electrostatically charged during mixing,
filtering or pumping at high flow rates. If this charge reaches a sufficiently high lever, sparks can form that may ignite the
vapors of flammable liquids.
