Page 3 of 7
SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FROM THE SUBSTANCE OR MIXTURE
Always use safety glasses, in case of a large spill monitor area to determine if a respirator is needed. Eliminate all
ignition sources immediately. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes.
Hazardous decomposition: High temperatures and fires may produce such toxic substances as carbon monoxide and
carbon dioxide.
Keep away from heat / sparks / open flames / hot surfaces - No smoking.
Keep cool.
Ground / bond container and receiving equipment.
Use explosion-proof electrical / ventilating / light / equipment.
Use only non-sparking tools.
Take precautionary measures against static discharge.
ADVICE FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses and in case of large releases use
NIOSH approved respirators. Evacuate all unnecessary personnel. Shut off source if possible. Do not spray water
directly on the fuel, it can float on top of the water and relight.
6. Accidental release measures
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS, PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see section 8).
Always use safety glasses, in case of a large spill monitor area to determine if a respirator is needed. Eliminate all
ignition sources immediately. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothes.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not allow spills to enter drains or waterways.
Use good personal hygiene practices. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using toilet. Promptly remove
soiled clothing and wash thoroughly before reuse.
METHODS AND MATERIAL FOR CONTAINMENT AND CLEANING UP
Ventilate the area and avoid breathing vapors. Take the personal protective measures listed in section 8.
Contain and absorb spillage with non-combustible materials e.g. sand, earth, and vermiculite. Place in closed
containers outside buildings and dispose of according to the Waste Regulations. (See section 13).
Do not allow spills to enter drains or watercourses.
If drains, sewers, streams or lakes are contaminated, inform the local water company immediately. In the case of
contamination of rivers, streams or lakes the Environmental Protection Agency should also be informed.
Contain spill through the use of dikes.
7. Handling and storage
PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING
Liquid can evaporate and form vapors that can catch fire and burn with explosive force. Vapors are heavier than air
and may travel and be ignited at remote locations and flash back. Ground/bond all handling equipment in order to
prevent a static discharge which could cause a fire. Eliminate ignition sources from handling areas. Use appropriate
ventilation in order to prevent the buildup of explosive atmospheres. Keep ignition sources away from fuel. Avoid
contact with skin and eyes through proper use of chemical resistant gloves and glasses.
