Specific hazards arising from
the chemical
Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel considerable distance to a source
of ignition and flash back. This product is a poor conductor of electricity and can become
electrostatically charged. If sufficient charge is accumulated, ignition of flammable mixtures can
occur. To reduce potential for static discharge, use proper bonding and grounding procedures.
This liquid may accumulate static electricity when filling properly grounded containers. 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.
Special protective equipment
and precautions for firefighters
Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of fire.
Fire fighting
equipment/instructions
In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Move containers from fire area if you can do
so without risk.
Specific methods
Use standard firefighting procedures and consider the hazards of other involved materials.
General fire hazards
Highly flammable liquid and vapor.
6. Accidental release measures
Personal precautions,
protective equipment and
emergency procedures
Keep unnecessary personnel away. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. Eliminate all
ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Wear appropriate
protective equipment and clothing during clean-up. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. 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. Transfer by mechanical means such as vacuum truck to a salvage tank or other
suitable container for recovery or safe disposal. Local authorities should be advised if significant
spillages cannot be contained. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS.
Methods and materials for
containment and cleaning up
Eliminate all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks, or flames in immediate area). Take
precautionary measures against static discharge. Use only non-sparking tools. Keep combustibles
(wood, paper, oil, etc.) away from spilled material.
Large Spills: Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Dike the spilled material, where this is
possible. Cover with plastic sheet to prevent spreading. Use a non-combustible material like
vermiculite, sand or earth to soak up the product and place into a container for later disposal.
Prevent product from entering drains. Following product recovery, flush area with water.
Small Spills: Absorb with earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers
for later disposal. Wipe up with absorbent material (e.g. cloth, fleece). Clean surface thoroughly to
remove residual contamination.
Never return spills to original containers for re-use. For waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS.
Environmental precautions
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.
7. Handling and storage
Precautions for safe handling
Obtain special instructions before use. Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read
and understood. Do not handle, store or open near an open flame, sources of heat or sources of
ignition. Protect material from direct sunlight. When using do not smoke. Explosion-proof general
and local exhaust ventilation. 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. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. All equipment
used when handling the product must be grounded. Use non-sparking tools and explosion-proof
equipment. Avoid breathing mist or vapor. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid
prolonged exposure. Pregnant or breastfeeding women must not handle this product. Should be
handled in closed systems, if possible. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment. Avoid
release to the environment. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
For additional information on equipment bonding and grounding, refer to the Canadian Electrical
Code in Canada, (CSA C22.1), or the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practice
2003, "Protection Against Ignitions Arising out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents" or National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 77, "Recommended Practice on Static Electricity" or National
Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 70, "National Electrical Code".
