Technical Specifications
Date Printed: 12/16/2015
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors can travel to a source of
ignition and flash back. Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. No unusual
fire or explosion hazards noted.
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. Containers can rupture and release highly toxic material
if exposed to heat. Substance is non-combustible but reacts with many metals to form explosive hydrogen gas. Use water spray to
keep fire-exposed containers cool. Containers may explode when heated.
6. Accidental Release Measures
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: Avoid runoff into sewers and waterways. Provide ventilation
and approach spill from upwind using proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8. Carefully neutralize spill with
sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Contain spilled liquid with sand or earth. DO NOT use combustible materials such as sawdust.
Eliminate all ignition sources; use explosion-proof equipment. Place material in a container and dispose of according to local,
provincial, state and federal regulations. 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. Remove contaminated clothing and launder before reuse.
Use only with adequate ventilation. Follow all MSDS/label precautions even after container is emptied because it may retain product
residues. Avoid breathing fumes, vapors, or mist. Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing.
STORAGE: Store in a dry, well ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. 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.

PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne
levels below recommended exposure limits. Provide general dilution of local exhaust ventilation in volume and pattern to keep TLV of
hazardous ingredients below acceptable 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 gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact. 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 guidance regarding types of
personal protective equipment and their applications. Refer to safety supervisor or industrial hygienist for further information
regarding personal protective equipment and its application.
