Extinguishing Media:
Choose extinguishing media suitable for the surrounding materials, such as
water spray, dry chemical, alcohol foam or carbon dioxide.
Unsuitable Extinguishing Media:
No restrictions on media based on knowledge of this material.
Fire Fighting Instructions:
Water spray should be used to cool fire exposed containers and to disperse
un-ignited vapors. Use NIOSH/MSHA approved positive pressure self-contained
breathing apparatus when material has ignited or becomes involved in a fire.
Try to remove material containers from fire area if can be accomplished
without risk to personnel.
Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance. Call your local fire
department. Wear positive pressure, breathing apparatus and protect eyes
and skin. Use water to cool fire-exposed containers, to protect personnel
and to disperse vapors and spills. Fire media run-off can damage the
environment. Dike and collect media used to fight fire.

SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Small Spills:
For small incidental spills and leaks wear chemical safety goggles, and
neoprene gloves and apron or coveralls. Isolate area of spill by diking.
Stop source of leak. Add dry absorbent. Clean up and place in an approved
D.O.T. container and seal. Wash all contaminated clothing before reuse, and
discard contaminated leather shoes.
Large Spills:
For larger spills requiring emergency response, neoprene boots and respiratory
protection may also be required. Follow OSHA regulations and NIOSH
recommendations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134 and NIOSH Pub. 87-108) and
emergency response (see 29 CFR 1910.120). Isolate area of spill by diking.
Stop source of leak. Add dry absorbent. Clean up and place in an approved
D.O.T. container and seal. Wash all contaminated clothing before reuse, and
discard contaminated leather shoes. Call the emergency telephone number
shown on the front of this sheet.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING / STORAGE
Handling:
Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing mist or vapor.
Do not swallow. Wear chemical safety goggles and neoprene gloves and apron.
Wash thoroughly after handling. Keep container closed when not in use. Use
only with adequate ventilation.
Storge:
Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from all sources of ignition.
Keep containers closed when not in use.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROL AND PERSONAL PROTECTION
Ventilation:
Good general ventilation should be sufficient for most processing operations.
Vent work area to ensure airborne concentrations are below the current
occupational exposure limits. Ten (10) or more room air changes per hour
containing a minimum of 15% fresh air will meet these requirements. Consult
ASHRAE 62-1989 for further requirements.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection: If used under normal operating conditions and with adequate ventilation,
respiratory protection is not required. However, refer to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.13
4.
Skin Protection: Chemical resistant gloves
Eye Protection: Chemical safety goggles
