SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Foam, CO2 or dry chemical. Soft stream water fog only if necessary. Contain all runoff. FIRE
/ EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Slightly combustible. This material may support combustion at elevated temperatures. FIRE
FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Isolate fire area. Evacuate downwind. Wear full protective clothing and self-contained
breathing apparatus. Do not breathe smoke, gases or vapors generated.
HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: Carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen
flouride.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
RELEASE NOTES: Isolate and post spill area. Wear protective clothing and personal protective equipment as prescribed
in Section 8, "Exposure Controls/Personal Protection". Keep unprotected persons and animals out of the area.
Keep material out of lakes, streams, ponds and sewer drains. Large spills should be covered to prevent dispersal. For dry
material, use a wet sweeping compound or water to prevent the formation of dust. If water is used, prevent runoff or
dispersion of excess liquid by diking and absorbing with a non-combustible absorbent such as clay, sand or soil. Vacuum,
shovel or pump all waste material, including absorbent, into a drum and label contents for disposal.
To clean and neutralize spill area, tools and equipment, wash with a suitable solution of caustic or soda ash, and an
appropriate alcohol (i.e., methanol, ethanol or isopropanol). Follow this by washing with a strong soap and water solution.
Absorb, as above, any excess liquid and add to the drums of waste already collected. Repeat if necessary. Dispose of
drummed waste according to the method outlined in Section 13, "Disposal Considerations".
SECTION 7 – HANDLING AND STORAGE
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN
PROHIBITIONS
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
PESTICIDE STORAGE
Keep out of reach of children and animals. Store in original containers only. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid excess
heat. Carefully open containers. After partial use close tightly.
In case of spill, avoid contact, isolate area and keep out animals and unprotected persons. Confine spills.
To confine spill: Cover to prevent dispersal. Place damaged package in a holding container. Identify contents.
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL
Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL
Completely empty bag into application equipment. Then dispose of empty bag in a sanitary landfill.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use local exhaust at all process locations where vapor or mist may be emitted. Ventilate all
transport vehicles prior to unloading.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
EYES AND FACE: For dust exposure, wear chemical protective goggles or a face shield.
RESPIRATORY: For splash, mist or spray exposure wear, as a minimum, a properly fitted half-face or full-face air-
purifying respirator which is approved for pesticides (U.S. NIOSH/MSHA, EU CEN or comparable certification
organization). Respirator use and selection must be based on airborne concentrations.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING: Depending upon concentrations encountered, wear coveralls or long-sleeved uniform
and head covering. For larger exposures as in the case of spills, wear full body cover barrier suit, such as a PVC
suit. Leather items - such as shoes, belts and watchbands - that become contaminated should be removed and
destroyed. Launder all work clothing before reuse (separately from household laundry).
WORK HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Clean water should be available for washing in case of eye or skin contamination.
Wash skin prior to eating, drinking or using tobacco. Shower at the end of the workday.
GLOVES: Wear chemical protective gloves made of materials such as rubber, neoprene, or PVC. Thoroughly
wash the outside of gloves with soap and water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.
