<br />Combustible liquid and vapor, Vapor may cause flash fire, Vapors may accumulate in

<br />Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
<br />Personal precautions' : Immediately contact emergency personnel. Eliminate all Ignition sources: Keep
<br /> unnecessary personnel away. Use suitable protective equipment, (section 8). Do not
<br /> touch or walk through spilled material. Tanks; vessels or other confined spaces which
<br /> have contained product should be freed of vapors before entering. The container should
<br /> be checked to ensure a safe atmosphere before entry, Empty containers may contain
<br /> toxic;ffammable/combustible or explosive residues or vapors, Do notcut, .grind. drill,
<br /> weld or reuse empty containers that contained this product, Do not transfer this product
<br /> to another container unless the container receiving the product is.labeled with proper
<br /> DOT shipping name, hazard class and other information that describes the product and
<br /> its hazards.
<br />Environmental precautions Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains
<br /> and sewers: If facility or operation has an "olt or hazardous substance contingency plan",
<br /> activate its procedures. Stay upwind and away from spill- Wear appropriate protective
<br /> equipment including respiratory protection as conditions warrant: Do not enter or stay in
<br /> area unless monitoring indicates that it is safe to do so. Isolate hazard area and restrict
<br /> entry to emergency crew. Extremely flammable. Review Fire and Explosion Hazard
<br /> Data before proceeding with dean up. Keep all sources of ignition (flames,.smoking,
<br /> flares, etc.) and hot surfaces away from release. Contain spill in smallest possible area
<br /> Recover as much product as possible (e.g., by vacuuming). Stop leak if it can be done
<br /> without risk. Use water spray to disperse vapors. Spilled material may be absorbed by
<br /> .an appropriate absorbent, and then handled in accordance with environmental
<br /> regulations. Prevent spilled material from entering sewers, storm,drains, other
<br /> unauthorized treatment or drainage systems and natural waterways, Contact fire
<br /> authorities and appropriate federal, state and local agencies. If spill of any amount is
<br /> made into or upon navigable waters, the contiguous zone, or adjoining shorelines,
<br /> contact the National Response Center at 800-424. 8802, For highway or railway spills,
<br /> contact Chemtrec at 800-424-9300.
<br />Methods for cleaning up If emergency personnel.are unavailable, contain spilled material, For small spills, add
<br /> absorbent (soil may be used in the absence of other suitable materials) and use a non-
<br /> sparking or explosion-proof means to transfer material to a sealable, appropriate
<br /> container for disposal. For large spills, dike spilled material or otherwise contain €t to
<br /> ensure runoff does not reach a waterway. Place spilled material in an appropriate
<br /> container for disposal.
<br />Section 7. Handling and Storage
<br />Handling :. Do not ingest, Do not get in eyes, on skin or on clothing, Keep container closed. Use
<br /> only, with adequate. ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist- Keep away from heat,
<br /> sparks and flame: To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by,
<br /> grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material, Use
<br /> explosion-proof electrical (ventilating, lighting and material handling) equipment. Wash
<br /> thoroughly after handling. Use only in well ventilated locations, Keep away from heat,
<br /> spark and flames. In case of fire, use water spray, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide
<br /> as described in the Fire and Explosion Hazard Data section of the MSDS. Do not
<br /> pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill on or near this container. "Empty" container
<br /> contains residue (liquid and/or vapor) and may explode in heat of a fire.
