cause bursting of the can. Water spray may be ineffective. Closed containers may explode when exposed
to extreme heat. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition
and flash back. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame.
Special Firefighting Procedures: Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance.
Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
Steps To Be Taken If Material Is Released Or Spilled: Remove all sources of ignition, ventilate area and
remove with inert absorbent and non-sparking tools. 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.
Section 7 - Handling And Storage
Handling: Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Use only in a well-ventilated area.
Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain product
residues. Avoid breathing vapor or mist.
Storage: Do not store above 120 ° F. Store large quantities in buildings designed and protected for
storage of NFPA Class I flammable liquids. Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical
equipment, sparks and open flame. Contents under pressure. Do not expose to heat or store above 120 °
F.
Section 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. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
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: Nitrile or Neoprene gloves may afford adequate skin protection. Use impervious gloves to
prevent skin contact and absorption of this material through the skin.
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.
