UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Closed containers may explode when
exposed to extreme heat due to buildup of steam. Keep containers tightly closed. Isolate from heat, electrical equipment, sparks
and open flame.
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. 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: Remove all sources of ignition, ventilate area and remove
with inert absorbent and non-sparking tools. Dispose of according to local, state (provincial) and federal regulations. Do not
incinerate closed containers. Ventilate area, isolate spilled material, and remove with inert absorbent. Dispose of contaminated
absorbent, container, and unused contents in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.
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: Product should be stored in tightly sealed containers and protected from heat, moisture, and foreign materials. 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. Avoid excess heat. Do
not store above 120 ° F. Store large quantities in buildings designed and protected for storage of NFPA Class II combustible liquids.

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 gloves to prevent prolonged skin contact. 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.
HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Wash thoroughly with soap and water before eating, drinking or smoking. Remove contaminated clothing
immediately and launder before reuse.
