SECTION 鈥? 5 鈥? FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: 27 Deg. C, 80.1 Deg. F SFCC (Typical)
Extinguishing Media: CO2, dry chemical, or foam. Water can be used to cool and protect exposed material.
Firefighting Procedures: Recommend wearing self-contained breathing apparatus. Water may be ineffective fighting fires.
Unusual Fire & Explosion
Hazards: Toxic fumes, gases or vapors may evolve on burning. Vapors may be heavier than air and may travel along
the ground to a distant ignition source and flash back. Container may rupture on heating.
SECTION 鈥? 6 鈥? ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Spill Procedures: May form explosive mixtures with air. Immediately evacuate all personnel from danger area. Personal
Protective Equipment must be worn, see Personal Protection Section for PPE recommendations. Eliminate
all sources of heat, sparks pilot lights, static electricity and open flames. Ventilate spilled area. Prevent entry
into sewers and waterways. Pick up free liquid for recycle and/or disposal if can be accomplished safely with
explosion proof equipment. Residual liquid can be absorbed on inert material. Check under Transportation
and Labeling (DOT/CERCLA) and Other Regulatory Information Section (SARA) for hazardous substances
to determine regulatory reporting requirements for spills.
SECTION 鈥? 7 鈥? HANDLING AND STORAGE
Maximum Pumping Temperature: Not determined.
Maximum Handing Temperature: Not determined.
Handling Procedures: Keep material away from heat, sparks, pilot lights, static electricity and open flame. Open container
in well ventilated area. Avoid breathing vapors. Keep containers closed when not in use. Static
ignition hazard can result from handling and use. Electrically bond and ground all containers and
equipment before transfer or use of material. Wash thoroughly after handling. Empty containers
retain material residue. Do not cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind or expose containers to heat,
flame, spark or other sources of ignition.
Maximum Storage Temperature: Not determined.
Storage Procedures: Do not store near potential sources of ignition. Isolated outside storage is preferred. Inside storage
area should be in a flammable liquids cabinets or storage area.
Loading Temperature: Not determined.
SECTION 鈥? 8- EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation Procedures: Use local exhaust ventilation to control mists or vapors. Additional ventilation or exhaust may be
required to maintain air concentrations below recommended exposure limits. Use explosion proof
equipement.
Gloves Procedures: Use nitrile or neoprene gloves.
Eye Protection: Chemical goggles or faceshield.
Respiratory Protection: Use NIOSH/MSHA approved full face respirator with a combination organic vapor and high
efficiency filter cartridge if the recommended exposure limit is exceeded. Use self-contained
breathing apparatus for entry into confined space, for other poorly ventilated areas and for large
spill clean-up sites.
Clothing Recommendation: Long sleeve shirt is recommended. Wear a chemically protective apron when contact with material
may occur. Use neoprene or nitrile rubber boots when necessary to avoid contaminating shoes. Do
not wear rings, watches or similar apparel that could entrap the material and cause a skin reaction.
