area with foam. Remove with vacuum trucks or pump to storage/salvage vessels. Soak up
residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material and dispose of properly.
Flush area with water to remove trace residue. Contain run-off from residue flush and dispose
of properly. Prevent entry into waterways, sewer, basements or confined areas. For small spills:
Soak up residue with an absorbent such as clay, sand or other suitable material. Place in non-
leaking container and seal tightly for proper disposal.
Disposal:
Proper disposal should be evaluated based on regulatory status of this material (refer to section
13), potential contamination from subsequent use and spillage, and regulations governing
disposal in the local area.
Reporting:
Notify authorities if any exposures to the general public or environment occurs or is likely to
occur.
SECTION VII – Handling and Storage
Do not taste or swallow. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Wash thoroughly after
handling.
Handling:
Surfaces that are sufficiently hot may ignite liquid material. Vapors are flammable and heavier
than air. Vapors may travel across the ground and reach remote ignition sources causing a
flashback fire danger. Do not store or handle in aluminum equipment at temperatures above
120° F (48.9° C).
Keep away from heat, sparks and flame. Extinguish pilot lights, cigarettes and turn off other
sources of ignition prior to use and until all vapors have dissipated. Use explosion-proof
ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation while in use. Properly dispose of any contaminated
rags or cleaning materials in order to prevent fires. Air-dry contaminated clothing in a well-
ventilated area before laundering. Static electricity may accumulate and create a fire hazard.
Bond and ground handling equipment and transfer containers to prevent sparking.
Storage:
Keep containers closed when not in use.
Ground fixed equipment.
Container Warnings:
Containers, even those that have been emptied, can contain explosive vapors. Do not cut, drill,
grind, weld or perform similar operations on or near containers.
