SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES:
PAGE 1 OF 10
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Product: M2 Revision Date: 05/26/2009
Keep up-wind to avoid fumes. Avoid water in straight hose stream; will scatter and spread
fire. Cool containers exposed to flames with water until well after the fire is out. Keep run-
off water out of sewers and water sources. Dike for water control.
SPECIFIC HAZARDS: Highly flammable, avoid breathing fire vapors. May travel considerable distance to source
of ignition and flash back. Polymerizes, generating heat.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES:
Self contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn in case of
fire.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES:
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS
Warn everybody of potential hazards and evacuate if necessary. Provide adequate
ventilation. Remove sources of ignition. Avoid inhalation of spray mist and contact with
skin and eyes. Wear protective clothing as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet.
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Do not allow to enter drains, sewers or watercourses. Spillages or uncontrolled discharges
into watercourses must be IMMEDIATELY alerted to the Environmental Agency or other
appropriate regulatory body.
SPILL CLEAN UP METHODS
Absorb spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material. Transfer to a container for
disposal (RCRA hazardous waste). Containers with collected spillage must be properly
labeled with correct contents and hazard symbol.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING: Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the
defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Avoid inhalation of vapors/spray and
contact with skin and eyes. Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Storage tanks and other containers must be grounded. Do not handle near open flames or
near other sources of ignition. Observe good industrial hygiene practices.
STORAGE: Store in tightly closed original container in a cool, dry well-ventilated place. Store in
accordance with NFPA regulations. Maintain air space in storage containers.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
PROCESS CONDITIONS: Provide eyewash, quick drench.
VENTILATION: Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the
defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If ventilation is insufficient, suitable respiratory protection must be provided.
EYE PROTECTION: Wear approved, tight fitting safety glasses where splashing is probable.
SKIN PROTECTION: Protection suit must be worn. Use protective gloves made of rubber or plastic.
HYGIENE MEASURES: Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs. Good personal hygiene is
necessary. Wash hands and contaminated areas with water and soap before leaving the
work site. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product. Change work clothing daily
before leaving work place.
