UNUSUAL FIRE & EXPLOSION
HAZARDS
Flammable. Material will readily ignite @ RT. Vapors may form explosive mixture w/ air. Vapors can travel long distances to a
source of ignition & flashback. Eliminate ignition source: heat, electrical equipment, sparks, pilot lights, stoves &
flames. Do not smoke or put in contact w/ oxidizing or caustic materials. Containers may explode if exposed to heat.
SPECIAL
FIREFIGHTING
PROCEDURES
Full protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus, is suggested to protect from combustion products. Cool exposed
containers w/ water.
SECTION 6 – ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
PROCEDURES
Dike spill area. Immediately eliminate sources of ignition. Use absorbent material or scrape up dried material & place into appropriate
containers.
SECTION 7 – HANDLING & STORAGE
HANDLING PROCEDURES &
EQUIPMENT
Keep out of reach of children & pets. Avoid eye & skin contact. Avoid breathing vapors. Use only in well ventilated area. Ensure
entry of fresh air.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS
Store away from caustics & oxidizers. Protect from heat, sparks & flames. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Protect
containers from excessive heat & freezing. Do not store @ temperatures above 120F.
SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
RESPIRATORY
If watering of eyes experienced, headache or dizziness or if used in workplace & air monitoring indicates vapor levels above exposure limits, use NIOSH
approved respiratory protection in accordance w/ Federal, State & Local requirements. Consult safety equipment supplier & OSHA Regulation 29 CFR
1910.134 for respirator requirements.
EYEWEAR
Goggles or safety glasses w/ side shields.
CLOTHING /
GLOVES
Solvent impervious gloves. Readily accessible eyewash, as well as solvent impervious apron if contact may occur.
HYGENIC
PRACTICES
Remove & wash contaminated clothing before re-use. Wash hands before breaks & @ end of workday.
