Section 5. Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: NA
Flammable Limits: NA
Auto-ignition Temperature: NA
NOTE: This material is non-combustible as supplied and does not support combustion.
Extinguishing Media: If the need exists, water spray, dry chemical foam, or carbon dioxide can be used.
Special Fire Fighting Procedures: For large fires or fires in confined areas, full emergency equipment with
self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing should be
used.
Section 6. Accidental Release Measures
Avoid breathing vapors. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Contain the spill and collect the material using
chemically resistant sorbent products. If this product is mixed with other materials, see Section 13.
Section 7. Handling and Storage
Avoid high heat and freezing conditions. Keep container tightly closed in a well-ventilated area.
NOTE: If this product is stored at temperatures >150 癋 or at elevations above 5000 feet, gas may form,
increasing the pressure within the container, causing the container to bulge. If bulging occurs, remove the
container from the work area and slowly open the container to release the gas. Be sure to wear proper
personal protective equipment.
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL is 5 ppm.
ACGIH TLV is 7 mg/M3.
The end-user must determine the specific types of personal protective equipment needed according to 29 CFR
1910.132--Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for General Industry. The following are only suggestions:
?Eyes: Safety glasses, goggles, or face shield
?Skin: Suitable chemically resistant gloves and protective clothing
?Inhalation: If vapors or mists are present, air purifying respirator with appropriate chemical
cartridge or canister.
Adequate ventilation should be provided to limit the threat of inhalation.

Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid): This material may react with most active metals to produce flammable
hydrogen gas and heat. Heat is also generated in reactions with alkalis.
Mixing this material with strong oxidizers may produce toxic chlorine
gas. May react with cyanide to produce toxic hydrogen cyanide. May
react with sulfides to produce toxic hydrogen sulfide. Combination with
fomaldehyde can produce bischloromethyl ether (known carcinogen).
Hazardous Decomposition or Byproducts: See Incompatibility
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur
