Flammability (Explosive) Limits (% by volume in air): Lower: NDA Upper: NDA
<br />EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Use water fog, foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide (C02) to extinguish flames.
<br />PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS:
<br />Fire Fighting Instructions: For fires involving this material, do not enter any enclosed or confined fire space without
<br />proper protective equipment, including self-contained breathing apparatus.
<br />Combustion Products: Highly dependent on combustion conditions. A complex mixture of airborne solids, liquids, and
<br />gases including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and unidentified organic compounds will be evolved when this material
<br />undergoes combustion. Combustion may form: Sulfur Oxides, Carbon Oxides
<br />SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
<br />Protective Measures: Eliminate all sources of ignition in the vicinity of the spill or released vapor. If this material is
<br />released into the work area, evacuate the area immediately. Monitor area with combustible gas indicator. Wear
<br />appropriate personal protective equipment when cleaning up spills. Refer to Section 8. Eliminate potential sources of
<br />ignition. Handling equipment must be bonded and grounded to prevent sparking.
<br />Spill Management: Stop the source of the release if you can do it without risk. Contain release to prevent further
<br />contamination of soil, surface water or groundwater. Clean up spill as soon as possible, observing precautions in Exposure
<br />Controls/Personal Protection. Use appropriate techniques such as applying non-combustible sorbent materials or
<br />pumping. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. A vapor suppressing foam may be used to
<br />reduce vapors. Use clean non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material. Where feasible and appropriate, remove
<br />contaminated soil. Place contaminated materials in disposable containers and dispose of in a manner consistent with
<br />applicable regulations.
<br />Reporting: U.S.A. regulations may require reporting spills of this material that could reach any surface waters. Report
<br />spills to local authorities and/or the National Response Center at (800) 424-8802 as appropriate or required.
<br />SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE'
<br />READ AND OBSERVE ALL PRECAUTIONS ON PRODUCT LABEL. REFER TO PRODUCT LABEL OR MANUFACTURERS
<br />TECHNICAL BULLETINS FOR THE PROPER USE AND HANDLING OF THIS MATERIAL.
<br />Precautionary Measures: Liquid evaporates and forms vapor (fumes) that can catch fire and burn with explosive force.
<br />Invisible vapor spreads easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment, and
<br />electrical motors and switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 85F. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or
<br />on clothing. Do not breathe vapor or fumes. Do not breathe mist. Wash thoroughly after handling.
<br />Static Hazard: Electrostatic charge may accumulate and create a hazardous condition when handling this material. To
<br />minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient. Review all
<br />operations, which have the potential of generating an accumulation of electrostatic charge and/or a flammable atmosphere
<br />(including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling, gauging, switch loading, filtering, mixing,
<br />agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures. For more information, refer to OSHA
<br />Standard 29 CFR 1910.106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 77),
<br />Recommended Practice on Static Electricity' (liquids, powders and dusts), and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API)
<br />Recommended Practice 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Arising Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents' (liquids).
<br />General Storage Information: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or
<br />it may rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be
<br />dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static
<br />electricity, or other sources of ignition. They may explode and cause injury or death. Empty containers should be
<br />completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum reconditioner, or disposed of properly. DO NOT
<br />USE OR STORE near heat, sparks or open flames. USE AND STORE ONLY IN WELL VENTILATED AREA. Keep
<br />container closed when not in use.
<br />Container Warnings: Container is not designed to contain pressure. Do not use pressure to empty container or it may
<br />rupture with explosive force. Empty containers retain product residue (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous.
<br />Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose such containers to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity,
