SECTION 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flash Point: None to boiling (41°C/106°F) ASTM D56-87 - TAG Closed Cup (TCC)
Autoignition Temperature: Not determined
Upper Flame Limit (volume % in air): Not determined
Lower Flame Limit (volume % in air): Not determined
Flame Propagation Rate (solids): Not applicable
Fire Extinguishing Media: Foam, CO
2
, Dry media or other media suitable for the surrounding fire.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Exposure to temperatures above 70°C/160°F may cause containers to burst. Pro-Flush™ is not flammable at
ambient temperatures and atmospheric pressure. However, based on similar mixtures, this material will become combustible when mixed with air under
pressure and exposed to strong ignition sources. Contact with certain finely divided reactive metals may result in formation of explosive or exothermic
reactions under specific conditions (e.g. very high temperatures and/or appropriate pressures). In the event of a liquid spill, ethyl nonafluoroisobutyl ether and
ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether will evaporate from the mixture faster than the other components, leaving a mixture enriched with trans-1,2-dichloroethylene,
acetone and t-butyl acetate. The enriched mixture may be flammable.
Special Fire Fighting Precautions/Instructions: Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus for protection against suffocation and possible
toxic decomposition products. Wear proper eye and skin protection. Use a water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool and to knock down vapors that
may result from product decomposition.
SECTION 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel away from area of spill. Remove all potential sources of ignition
from the area if possible. Ventilate area of leak or spill. Contain and absorb liquid with clay, vermiculite or other inert substance and package in a suitable
container for disposal. Dispose of absorbed material in accordance with Federal, local and state regulations. Only personnel equipped with proper respiratory
and eye/skin protection should be permitted in the area until air has been tested and determined safe, including low lying areas. The ethyl nonafluoroisobutyl
ether/ethyl nonafluorobutyl ether fraction will evaporate from Pro-Flush faster than the other components, leaving a mixture enriched with trans-1,2-
dichloroethylene, acetone and t-butyl acetate. The enriched mixture may be flammable. Spills and releases may have to be reported to Federal and/or local
authorities. See Section 15 regarding reporting requirements.
SECTION 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Protect from physical damage. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from sources of heat, moisture. Empty containers of this material, pose no disposal
hazard and may be recycled. Keep this and all chemicals out of the reach of children. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Normal Handling: (Always wear recommended personal protective equipment.) Avoid breathing vapors or liquid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not
puncture or drop containers, expose them to open flame, excessive heat, or direct sunlight. Use approved containers only. Pro-Flush™ should not be mixed
with air above atmospheric pressure for any purpose. Use only dry nitrogen to pressurize with Pro-Flush™ injectors.
Storage Recommendations: Because of its low boiling properties, store Pro-Flush in a cool, well-ventilated area of low fire risk. Protect container, injector
and its fittings from physical damage. Avoid storing Pro-Flush in basement areas. Do not heat the container or store at a temperature above 110°F (44°C).
Close container and/or injector valve tightly after use and when empty. If container temperature exceeds 106°F, cool the can with water before opening cans
or filling injector to minimize the risk of splashing or hazardous contact.

Engineering Controls:
Ventilation System: A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local
exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Skin Protection: Use protective, impervious gloves and clothing made of neoprene, nitrile or butyl rubber if prolonged or repeated contact with liquid is
anticipated. Wash clothing promptly, if wet. Remove any non-impervious clothing and wash before re-use.
Eye Protection: For normal conditions, wear safety glasses. Where there is reasonable probability of liquid contact, wear splash-proof goggles. Contact
lenses should not be worn under such conditions.
