GENERAL HAZARDS: Product is flammable. Products of combustion include compounds of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, including carbon
monoxide.
EXTINGUISHING MEDIA
Carbon dioxide, water, water fog, dry chemical, chemical foam.
FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURES
Self - contained respiratory equipment; cool containers to prevent pressure buildup and possible explosion when exposed to extreme heat.
Caution - material is flammable!
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS
Closed containers can explode due to buildup of pressure when exposed to extreme heat. Vapors may cause a flash fire or ignite
explosively. Vapors may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
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: CAUTION - FLAMMABLE - Evacuate and ventilate area; remove all
sources of sparks, ignition and open flames; confine and absorb into approved absorbent; place material into approved containers for disposal;
do not wash to sewer or waterway.
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. CAUTION - FLAMMABLE - keep away from all sources of ignition. "Empty" containers may contain
residue which may form explosive vapors. Do not weld or cut near empty container that has not been professionally reconditioned. Use non-
sparking tools when opening and closing containers. Maintain well ventilated work areas to minimize exposure when handling this material.
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: Not ordinarily required, however, NIOSH approved respirator recommended to prevent overexposure..
Respiratory protection must be provided in accordance with OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.134), CSA Z94.4-93, or European Standard EN
149, as applicable.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES: Recommended for general protection
EYE PROTECTION: Chemical splash goggles. Eye protection must be provided in accordance with OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.133),
ANSI Z87.1, or European Standard EN 166, as applicable.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT: Safety eyewash station nearby.
WORK / HYGIENIC PRACTICES: Practice safe workplace habits. Safety showers and safety eyewash nearby.
