5.3 PROTECTION OF FIRE FIGHTERS
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: Wear full protective equipment (Bunker Gear) and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Flammable liquid and vapor. Closed containers exposed to heat from fire may build
pressure and explode. Vapors may travel long distances along the ground or floor to an ignition source and flash back.
SECTION 6: ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Accidental Release Measures: Evacuate unprotected and untrained personnel from hazard area. The spill should be cleaned up by
qualified personnel. Remove all ignition sources such as flames, smoking materials, and electrical spark sources. Use only with non
sparking tools. Ventilate the area with fresh air. Contain spill. Mix in sufficient absorbent until it appears dry. Collect waste and
dispose of in accordance with local, state and federal laws and regulations.
SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 HANDLING
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water. Keep away from heat,
sparks, open flame, pilot lights and other sources of ignition. Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray. Avoid eye contact with
vapors, mists, or spray. Keep out of reach of children. May cause flash fire. Use only with ventilation. Use general ventilation. If
ventilation is not adequate, use respiratory protection equipment.
7.2 STORAGE
Store away from acids. Store away from heat. Store out of direct sunlight. Keep container tightly closed. Store away from oxidizing
agents.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use with appropriate local exhaust ventilation. Provide appropriate local exhaust ventilation on open containers. Do not use in a
confined area or areas with little or no air movement. Use general ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation. If ventilation is not
adequate, use protection equipment.
8.2 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
8.2.1 Eye/Face protection
Avoid eye contact with vapors, mists, or spray.
The following eye protection(s) are recommended: Safety Glasses with side shields. Indirect Vented Goggles.
8.2.2 Skin Protection
Avoid skin contact.
Select and use gloves and/or protective clothing to prevent skin contact based on the results of an exposure assessment. Consult with
your glove and/or protective clothing manufacturer for selection of appropriate compatible materials.
Gloves made from the following material(s) are recommended: Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA), Polyethylene/Ethylene Vinyl Alcohol.
8.2.3 Respiratory Protection
Avoid breathing of vapors, mists or spray.
8.2.4 Prevention of Swallowing
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Wash exposed areas thoroughly with soap and water.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) hazard ratings are designed for use by emergency response personnel to address the
hazards that are presented by short-term, acute exposure to a material under conditions of fire, spill, or similar emergencies. Hazard
ratings are primarily based on the inherent physical and toxic properties of the material but also include the toxic properties of
combustion or decomposition products that are known to be generated in significant quantities.
