Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may rupture when exposed to heat or flame. This
product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become electrostatically charged. If sufficient
charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can occur. Static electricity accumulation
may be significantly increased by the presence of small quantities of water or other contaminants.
Material will float and may ignite on surface of water. During fire, gases hazardous to health may
be formed.
Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Firefighters must use standard protective equipment including flame retardant coat, helmet with
face shield, gloves, rubber boots, and in enclosed spaces, SCBA.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
Extremely flammable aerosol. Contents under pressure. Pressurized container may rupture when
exposed to heat or flame.
General fire hazards
6. Accidental release measures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Keep out of
low areas. Remove all possible sources of ignition in the surrounding area. Many gases are
heavier than air and will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers,
basements, tanks). Wear appropriate protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Do not
breathe mist or vapor. Do not breathe gas. Emergency personnel need self-contained breathing
equipment. Do not touch damaged containers or spilled material unless wearing appropriate
protective clothing. Ventilate closed spaces before entering them. Use appropriate containment to
avoid environmental contamination. Local authorities should be advised if significant spillages
cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Keep
combustibles (wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material. This material is classified as a
water pollutant under the Clean Water Act and should be prevented from contaminating soil or
from entering sewage and drainage systems which lead to waterways. Stop the flow of material, if
this is without risk. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly
to remove residual contamination. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Avoid release to the environment. Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Avoid
discharge into drains, water courses or onto the ground. Inform appropriate managerial or
supervisory personnel of all environmental releases. Use appropriate containment to avoid
environmental contamination.
Environmental precautions
7. Handling and storage
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Minimize fire risks from flammable and combustible materials (including
combustible dust and static accumulating liquids) or dangerous reactions with incompatible
materials. Handling operations that can promote accumulation of static charges include but are not
limited to: mixing, filtering, pumping at high flow rates, splash filling, creating mists or sprays, tank
and container filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, vacuum truck operations.
Pressurized container: Do not pierce or burn, even after use. Do not use if spray button is missing
or defective. Do not spray on a naked flame or any other incandescent material. Do not smoke
while using or until sprayed surface is thoroughly dry. Do not cut, weld, solder, drill, grind, or
expose containers to heat, flame, sparks, or other sources of ignition. Use caution around
energized equipment. The metal container will conduct electricity if it contacts a live source. This
may result in injury to the user from electrical shock and/or flash fire. Do not breathe mist or vapor.
Do not breathe gas. Avoid prolonged exposure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women must not handle
this product. Should be handled in closed systems, if possible. Use only in well-ventilated areas.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid
release to the environment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices. For product usage
instructions, please see the product label.
Precautions for safe handling
Level 3 Aerosol.
Pressurized container. Protect from sunlight and do not expose to temperatures exceeding
50°C/122 °F. Do not puncture, incinerate or crush. Do not handle or store near an open flame,
heat or other sources of ignition. This material can accumulate static charge which may cause
spark and become an ignition source. Avoid spark promoters. These alone may be insufficient to
remove static electricity. Store in a well-ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials
(see Section 10 of the SDS).
