Substance may be transported hot.
Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.
Vapors may cause dizziness or suffocation.
Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause pollution.
Suspected Human Carcinogen. Human data are accepted as adequate in quality but are
conflicting or insufficient to classify the agent as a confirmed human carcinogen, OR the
agent is carcinogenic in experimental animals in doses, by routes of exposure, at sites, of
histologic types, or by mechanisms considered relevant to worker exposure.
A potential significant contribution to the overall exposure route exists, including mucous
membranes and the eyes, either by contact with vapors or of probable greater significance,
by direct skin contact with the substance. Vehicles present in solutions or mixtures can also
significantly enhance potential skin absorption. The development of a dermatological
condition can significantly affect the potential for dermal absorption.

Small fires: Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.
Large fires: Water spray, fog or regular foam,. Use water spray or fog; do not use straight
streams. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk.
Fire involving Tanks or Car/Trailer Loads: Fight fire from maximum distance or use
unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles. Cool containers with flooding quantities of
water until well after fire is out. Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting
safety devices or discoloration of tank. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire. For
massive fire use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw
from area and let fire burn.
6. Accidental Release Measures
Spill or Leak: ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in
immediate area). All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.

JP5
Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Stop leak if you can do it without risk. Prevent
entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas. A vapor suppressing foam may
be used to reduce vapors. Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustion
material and transfer to containers. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed
material.
Large Spills: Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal. Water spray may reduce vapor,
but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.
Waste Disposal Method: All materials affected by the spill, to include sorbent materials,
earth, snow, etc. should be removed and disposed of in a manner conforming with State and
Federal regulations. Use of CCROV recommended.
7. Handling and Storage
Handling: Open container slowly to relieve any pressure. Bond and ground all equipment
when transferring from one vessel to another. Can accumulate static charge by flow or
agitation. Refer to NFPA-704 and/or API RP-2003 for specific bonding/grounding
requirements.
Do not enter confined spaces without following proper entry procedures.
Do not wear contaminated clothing or shoes. Keep contaminated clothing away from
sources of ignitions such as sparks or open flames. Use good personal hygiene.
High pressure injection of hydrocarbon fuels, hydraulic oils or greases under the skin may
have serious consequences even though no symptoms or injury may be apparent.
"Empty" containers retain residue and may be dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld,
braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources
of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty drums should be completely
drained, properly bunged and promptly shipped to the supplier or a drum reconditioner. All
containers should be disposed of in an environmentally safe manner and in accordance with
governmental regulations.
Before working on or in tanks which contain or have contained this material, refer to OSHA
regulations, ANSI Z49.1 and other references pertaining to cleaning, repairing, welding, or
other contemplated operations.
Storage: Keep container(s) tightly closed. Use and store this material in cool, dry,
well-ventilated areas away from heat, direct sunlight, hot metal surfaces, and all sources of
ignition. Post area "No Smoking or Open Flame." Store only in approved containers. Keep
away from any incompatible material (See Section 10). Protect container(s) against physical
damage. Outdoor or detached storage is preferred. Indoor storage should meet OSHA
standards and appropriate fire codes.
8. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Engineering Controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne
concentration below the established exposure limits (see Section 2) additional ventilation or
exhaust systems may be required. Where explosive mixtures may be present, electrical
systems safe for such locations must be used (see appropriate electrical codes),
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
Respiratory: A NIOSH certified air purifying respirator with an organic vapor cartridge may
be used under conditions where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure
limits (see Section 2): Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. A
respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1920.134 and ANSI Z88.2
requirements must be followed.
Personal Protection shall be used when the recommended exposure limit is exceeded.
NIOSH recommendations for respirator selection is listed below:

11. Toxicological Information
Limited quantitative data exists with regard to skin absorption of gases, vapors, and liquids
by workers. The Chemical Substances TLV Committee recommends that the integration of
data from acute dermal studies and repeated dose dermal studies in animals and/or humans,
along with the ability of the chemical to be absorbed, be used in deciding on the
appropriateness of the skin notation. In general, available data which suggest that the
potential for absorption via the hands/forearms during the workday could be significant,
Page 5 6

JP5
especially for chemicals with lower TLVs.
Substances having a skin notation and a low TLV may present special problems for
operations involving high airborne concentrations of the material, particularly under
conditions where significant areas of the skin are exposed for a long period of time. Under
these conditions, special precautions to significantly reduce or preclude skin contact may
be required.
Biological monitoring should be considered to determine the relative contribution of
exposure via the dermal route to the total dose.
It is believed that air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate exposure and
that measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption may be required.
Confirmed Animal Carcinogen with Unknown Relevance to Humans: The agent is
carcinogenic in experimental animals at relatively high dose, by routes of administration, at
sites, of histological types, or by mechanisms that may not be relevant to worker exposure.
Available epidemiologic studies do not confirm an increased risk of cancer in exposed
humans. Available evidence does not suggest that the agent is likely to cause cancer in
humans except under uncommon or unlikely routes or levels of exposure. (ACGIH, 2001
TLVs and BEIs).
12. Ecological Information
None listed.
13. Disposal Considerations
All materials affected by the spill, to include sorbent materials, earth, snow, etc., should be
removed and disposed of in a manner conforming with State and Federal regulations.
