HAZARDOUS COMPONENTS
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS:
CO, CO2 and hydrocarbons.
Vapors are heavier than air and may travel along the ground or may be moved by ventilation systems and ignited by pilot lights, open
flames, sparks, heaters, smoking instruments, electric motors, static discharge, or other ignition sources at locations in proximity of the
material handling point. If a fire occurs, the potential always exists for an explosion known as boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion
(BLEVE)
Keep containers cool using water spray to avoid bursting. Evacuate area. Avoid accumulation of unburned materials. Remove personnel
in general area. Observe maximum isolation when extinguishing fire. Expansion of liquid and change of state from liquid to vapor will allow
combustible mixture to encompass a large area.

For exposures above PEL Limits, use NIOSH or EN-149 (European) approved respirator to control exposure when TWA exceeded.
Maintain adequate ventilation.
Chemical resistant ,impervious, and insulated.

Handling Procedures
Avoid high temperatures that may elevate component pressure above container rating. Do not get into eyes; prevent contact with skin and
clothing. Do not breathe dust. If product is placed in solution, take precautions to avoid breathing mists. When using, do not eat, drink, or
smoke. Remove all contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Wash thoroughly after handling.
STORAGE PRECAUTIONS:
Store in a cool well ventilated area. Do not store at temperatures above 120°F which may cause container to
burst. Do not puncture or incinerate containers. Keep out of the reach of children. Small containers e.g. cylinders of approved design,
properly sealed and in good condition, should be stored outdoors or in well ventilated storerooms, at no lower than ground level and must
be quickly removable in an emergency. Eliminate all sources of ignition from the storage area.
Containment Procedures
Stop leak if possible. Eliminate all sources of ignition. Prevent vapor from entering sewers, basements or confined areas.
Clean-Up Procedures
Evacuate all personnel and remain upwind of leak.
Evacuation Procedures
Evacuate the area promptly. Keep upwind of the spilled material and isolate exposure.
Special Procedures
Wear appropriate personal protection equipment.
