Flash Point: No Data
Lower Flammable/Explosive Limit: Not applic able.
Upper Flammable/Explosive Limit: Not applic able.
Extinguishing Media: Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical, or water fog or spray
when fighting fires involving this material.
Protective Equipment: A s in any fire, wear Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SC BA ), MSHA /NIO SH
(approved or equivalent) and full protective gear.
NFPA Ratings:
NFPA Health: 1
NFPA Flammability: 1
NFPA Reactivity: 0
SEC TION 6 - AC C IDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Personnel Prec autions: Use proper personal protective equipment as listed in s ection 8.
Environmental Prec autions: A void runoff into storm s ewers, ditches, and waterways.
Spill C leanup Measures: A bsorb spill with inert material (e.g., dry sand or earth), then place in a chemical
waste container. Provide ventilation. Clean up spills immediately observing
precautions in the protective equipment section.
SEC TION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor and contact with eyes, skin
and clothing.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, well ventilated area away from sources of heat, combustible
materials, and incompatible substances . Keep container tightly closed when not in
use.
Hygiene Practices: Was h thoroughly after handling. A void contact with eyes and skin. Avoid inhaling
vapor or mist.
SEC TION 8 - EXPOSURE C ONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTEC TION - EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
Engineering C ontrols: Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
control airborne levels. Where such systems are not effective wear suitable
personal protective equipment, which performs satisfactorily and meets OSHA or
other recognized standards. Consult with local procedures for selection, training,
inspection and maintenance of the personal protec tive equipment.
Eye/Face Protection: Wear appropriate protective glasses or splash goggles as described by 29 CFR
1910.133, OSHA eye and face protection regulation, or the European standard EN
166.
Skin Protection Description: Chemical-resistant gloves and chemical goggles, face-shield and synthetic apron
or coveralls should be used to prevent contact with eyes, skin or clothing.
Respiratory Protection: A NIO SH approved air-purifying respirator with an organic vapor c artridge or
canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne
concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. Protection provided by air
purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if
there is any potential for an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known,
or any other c ircumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide
adequate protection.
O ther Protective: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash
facility and a safety shower.
