U <br />MAGNESIUM CHLORIDE <br />5. Fire Fighting Measures <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />Fire: <br />Not considered to be a fire hazard. <br />Explosion: <br />Not considered to be an explosion hazard. At room temperature the addition of magnesium <br />chloride to furan-2-peroxycarboxylic acid, will cause the acid -to explode. <br />Fire Extinguishing Media: <br />Use any means suitable for extinguishing surrounding fire. <br />Special Information. <br />In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing and NIOSH-approved self-contained <br />breathing apparatus with full facepiece operated in the pressure demand or other positive <br />pressure mode. <br />6. Accidental Release Measures <br />Ventilate area of leak or spill. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment as specified <br />in Section 8. Spills: Sweep up and containerize for reclamation or disposal. Vacuuming or <br />wet sweeping may be used to avoid dust dispersal. <br />7. Handling and Storage <br />Keep in a tightly closed container, stored in a cool, dry, ventilated area. Protect against <br />physical damage. Isolate from incompatible substances. Containers of this material may be <br />hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (dust, solids); observe all <br />warnings and precautions listed for the product. <br /> <br />8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection <br />Airborne Exposure Limits: <br />None established. <br />Ventilation System: <br />A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures as <br />low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the <br />emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general work <br />area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of <br />Recommended Practices, most recent edition, for details. <br />Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved): <br />For conditions of use where exposure to dust or mist is apparent and engineering controls <br />are not feasible, a particulate respirator.(NIOSH type N95 or better filters) may be worn.
