SECTION 5 ?Fire-Fighting Measures
FIRE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA: Carbon Dioxide, Dry Chemical, Foam
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES: Fight like a fuel oil fire. Cool fire exposed containers with
water spray. Firefighter should wear OSHA/NIOSH approved self-contained breathing apparatus.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD: Closed containers exposed to high temperatures, such as
fire conditions may rupture.
SECTION 6 ?Accidental Release Measures
SPILLS, LEAK OR RELEASE: Ventilate area. Remove all possible sources of ignition. Avoid prolonged
breathing of vapor. Contain spill with inert absorbent. MARINE POLLUTANT: Contains ten percent or
more of a marine pollutant
SECTION 7 ?Handling and Storage
STORAGE AND HANDLING: Use with adequate ventilation. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Avoid
breathing vapors. Do not store the product above 100癋/38癈. Do not flame, cut, braze weld or melt empty
containers. Keep the product away from heat, open flame, and other sources of ignition. Avoid contact with
strong acids, alkalis, and oxidizers.
SECTION 8 ?Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If component TLV limits are exceeded, use NIOSH/MSHA approved
respirator to remove vapors. Use an air-supplied respirator if necessary.
VENTILATION: Use adequate ventilation in volume and pattern to keep TLV/PEL below recommended
levels. Explosion-proof ventilation may be necessary.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: To prevent prolonged exposure use rubber gloves; solvents may be absorbed
through the skin.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety Glasses or goggles with splash guards or side shields.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: Wear protective clothing as required to prevent skin contact.
