V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
Flammability Summary:
o
105 (CALC.) F
Flash Point:
Vapors may be ignited by sparks, flames or other sources of ignition if material is
Fire Hazards:
above the flash point giving rise to a fire (Class B). Vapors are heavier than air and
may travel to a source of ignition and flash back.
Dry chemical Use alcohol resistant foam, carbon dioxide, or dry chemical
Extinguishing Media:
extinguishing agents. Water may be ineffective but water spray can be used extinguish
a fire if swept across the base of the flames. Water can absorb heat and keep exposed
material from being damaged by fire.
Use methods for the surrounding fire.Do not enter fire area without proper protection
Fire Fighting Instructions:
including self-contained 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.
M545-234 HC MEDIUM DARK WALNUT W/S Page 3 of 7
Hazardous Combustion Products: Carbon monoxide Carbon dioxide
VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Exposure to the spilled material may be irritating or harmful. Follow personal
Health Consideration for Spill
Response: protective equipment recommendations found in Section VIII of this MSDS.
Additional precautions may be necessary based on special circumstances created by
the spill including; the material spilled, the quantity of the spill, the area in which the
spill occurred. Also consider the expertise of employees in the area responding to the
spill.
Prevent the spread of any spill to minimize harm to human health and the
Spill Mitigation Procedures
General Methods: environment if safe to do so. Wear complete and proper personal protective
equipment following the recommendation of Section VIII at a minimum. Dike with
suitable absorbent material like granulated clay. Gather and store in a sealed container
pending a waste disposal evaluation.
VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Rags or other materials containing this product may oxidize and ignite. All
Handling:
contaminated materials should be isolated immediately to avoid spontaneous
combustion. Iron oxide pigments may accelerate this process. "Empty" containers
retain product residue (liquid and/or vapor) and can be dangerous. Use spark-proof
tools and explosion-proof equipment. Avoid contact with material. Minimize dust
generation and accumulation. As with all chemicals, good industrial hygiene practices
should be followed when handling this material. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse. Harmful or irritating material.
Avoid contact and avoid breathing the material. Use only in a well ventilated area.
Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container closed when not in use. Store in a
Storage:
cool dry place. Isolate from incompatible materials.
VIII. ENGINEERING CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Facilities storing or using this material should be equipped with an eyewash and
Engineering Controls:
safety shower. Engineering controls must be designed to meet the OSHA chemical
specific standard in 29 CFR 1910. Local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls are normally required when handling or using this product to avoid
overexposure.
Protective Equipment
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and
Respiratory Tract:
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.
Wear chemically resistant safety glasses with side shields when handling this product.
Eyes:
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.
M545-234 HC MEDIUM DARK WALNUT W/S Page 4 of 7
Avoid skin contact by wearing chemically resistant gloves, an apron and other
Skin:
protective equipment depending upon conditions of use. Inspect gloves for chemical
break-through and replace at regular intervals. Clean protective equipment regularly.
Wash hands and other exposed areas with mild soap and water before eating,
drinking, and when leaving work.
