FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Self - contained respiratory equipment; cool containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible explosion when exposed to extreme heat.
Caution - material will support combustion!
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Closed containers can explode due to buildup of pressure when exposed to extreme heat.
HAZARDOUS COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
Smoke, fumes or vapors, oxides of carbon.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED: WILL SUPPORT COMBUSTION. Evacuate and ventilate area;
confine and absorb into absorbent; place material into approved containers for disposal; refer to SARA Title III, Section 313 40 CFR 372 for
details concerning reporting requirements. Do not discharge into lakes, ponds, streams or public waters.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING AND STORAGE
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE: Keep container closed when not in use; protect containers from abuse;
protect from extreme temperatures, open flames. This material will support combustion. Keep this and other chemicals out of reach of
children.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions near the source. Provide mechanical ventilation of confined spaces.
Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: None required while threshold limits are kept below maximum allowable concentrations; if TWA exceeds
limits, NIOSH approved respirator must be worn. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149 for complete regulations.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Neoprene, butyl or nitrile rubber gloves with cuffs.
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical safety goggles. Refer to 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Coveralls, apron, or other equipment should be worn to minimize skin contact, safety
eyewash station nearby.
WORK / HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Practice safe workplace habits. Minimize body contact with this, as well as all chemicals in general.
