Flash Point, °F 105 (Setaflash)

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Alcohol Foam, Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Water Fog

UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Keep containers tightly closed.

SPECIAL FIREFIGHTING PROCEDURES: Water may be used to cool closed containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible

autoignition or explosion. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance.

6. Accidental Release Measures

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use

combustible materials such as sawdust. Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal regulations. Do not incinerate

closed containers.

7. Handling and Storage

HANDLING: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is

emptied because it may retain product residues. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Avoid contact with eyes.

STORAGE: Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Keep away from heat,

sparks, flame and sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use.

8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection

ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne

levels below recommended exposure limits. Prevent build-up of vapors by opening all doors and windows to achieve cross-

ventilation.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must

be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use. A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with an

organic vapor cartridge or canister may be permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are expected to

exceed exposure limits.

Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited. Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for an

uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or in any other circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide

adequate protection.

SKIN PROTECTION: Use impervious gloves to prevent skin contact and absorption of this material through the skin. Nitrile or

Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection.

EYE PROTECTION: Use safety eyewear designed to protect against splash of liquids.

OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information regarding personal

protective equipment and its application.

HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking.
