Fire Hazards
B611-0001 Qualsole Page 3 of 7
Vapors may be ignited by heat, sparks, flames or other sources of ignition at or above
Extreme Warning:
the low flash point giving rise to a Class B fire. Vapors are heavier than air and may
travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Empty containers that retain product residue (liquid, solid/sludge, or vapor) can be
General Warning:
dangerous. Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder, drill, grind, or expose
container to heat, flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition. Any of
these actions can potentially cause an explosion that may lead to injury or death.
Container may explode in heat of fire.
Extinguishing Media
Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical extinguishing agents.
Extreme Warning:
Water spray or fog may also be effective for extinguishing if swept across the base of
the fire. Water can also be used to absorb heat and keep exposed material from being
damaged by fire.

Fire Fighting Instructions
Do not enter fire area without proper protection including self-contained toxic
Extreme Warning:
breathing apparatus and full protective equipment. Fight fire from a safe distance and
a protected location due to the potential of hazardous vapors and decomposition
products. Flammable component(s) of this material may be lighter than water and
burn while floating on the surface. Use water spray/fog for cooling.

Protective Equipment
Respiratory Tract
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and
safety professional following requirements found in OSHA's respirator standard (29
CFR 1910.134) and ANSI's standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2-1992). A
written respiratory protection program, including provisions for medical certification,
training, fit testing, exposure assessments, maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and
convenient, sanitary storage should be implemented.
Eyes
Wear chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields when handling this product.
Wear additional eye protection such as chemical splash goggles and/or face shield
when the possibility exists for eye contact with splashing or spraying liquid, or
airborne material. Do not wear contact lenses. Have an eye wash station available.
Skin
Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves, an apron and other
protective equipment depending upon conditions of use. Inspect gloves for chemical
break-through and replace at regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly.
